Leaving out AUTH=<> would indeed solve the problem, I simulated this using
telnet. So if that can be done I am equally happy. I just assumed this would
be unacceptable from some reason.

The situation I am in is that I have some accounts on a shared Exchange
server, and I want to send mail from a PHP app as if it came from one of
those Exchange accounts. Currently such mail is often marked spam or junk by
receiving mail systems.
This despite SPF.
I tested delivery through the Exchange server, using telnet sending SMTP
commands, and that works fine.
I now want to reproduce the telnet command sequence in Postfix.

The latest on this seems to let my PHP app directly talk to the Exchange
server using authenticated SMTP, thus bypassing Postfix.

Any comments?

Rgds, Arie.
