SMTP AUTH is a pretty > critical feature imho It's not a supported on included part of qmail, which has not been modified in a number of years. The functionality is provided only via unofficial patches. I agree that it is pretty critical, however that is not the opinion of the software author (or if it is, he hasn't chosen to integrate it with the main distribution for whatever reason). Many people are still quite happily using vanilla qmail with relayctrl providing pop-before-smtp style relay access. So, though I do rely on it, it's an add-on feature that many opt not to use.
