Postfix auth headers (Re: Problem with false-positives for SASL users)

For those using Postfix, bug 4980 has a patch to support the auth 
headers, available in Postfix 2.3 and later, that can be used to extend 
your trust path to authenticated users.

If it results in no remaining untrusted hosts, then yes, RBL checks 
would be skipped.

Okay, so the patch basically integrates this into trusted_networks?
So if trusted_networks host adds the line, no RBL checks will be
run?

If the host that adds the auth line in the received header is trusted 
then the authenticated client will also be trusted.

Nice, but I don't understand how it's supposed to work or what it
does. Would you be so kind as to enlighten me?
