Hi,

while this may not be a solution for everybody (and might even be a good thing for some of your users
and a bad thing for others), at some time I decided that mail coming from the internet with a local
sender must be mail submission - and requires smtp auth.

It turned out that there were a few exceptions; at that time some mails from ebay where
sent from their server with the ebay member as from address - they seem to have changed
that because it does not work with SPF or DKIM either
