They're really one and the same. RELAYCLIENT is a form of authentication. It  
happens to be based on the sender's IP address. A successful authentication  
also sets RELAYCLIENT in the environment. The presence of RELAYCLIENT in the  
environment sets uauthsmtp in the control file.

It wouldn't even get that far. RCPT TO gets rejected, and the mail does not  
get accepted.
