4.3.  Require Authentication

   The MSA MUST by default issue an error response to the MAIL command
   if the session has not been authenticated using [SMTP-AUTH], unless
   it has already independently established authentication or
   authorization (such as being within a protected subnetwork).

In other words, SMTP-submit MUST use authentication, but the
authentication may be something as weak as deciding depending on the
IP address.

Folks, unless you are running on a network that allows unauthenticated
SMTP-auth, please allow port 587 in your exit policy.
