> Key: JAMES-4171
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4171
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SMTPServer
> Reporter: Benoit Tellier
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 1h 40m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> h3. Context
> I end up having to provide a submission only server for one of my customer.
> Problem: James bundles together the MX and submission role thus always accept email of remote users addressed to local users.
> This unorthodox behaviour is not a problem when combining both roles (though surprising!) however not being able to say "only authenticated users here" prevents implementing the aformentionned use case
> h3. Proposal
> Add auth.required configuration option in SMTP
> If true, then discard unauthenticated senders.
> This shall be the documented + recommended value however for retro-compatibility I propose to keep the legacy value as a default value.
