Or you can simply ignore them completely w/out logging them, since AUTH is a useless protocol, and you really shouldn't have a real AUTH daemon running on your box in any case.

On this topic also consider the "dummy" AUTH server in inetd...

Someone (you?) posted one to the mailing list, and/or modified inetd to use a dummy one. I'd have to go look in the archives.

It's in there now, vastly improved over my initial submission.

However, I haven't had an auth server running on my box for over 3 years, and it hasn't appeared to have hurt anything. :)

I can wait the extra 2-3 seconds for the auth server to timeout to get my email. :)

It can be a problem for a busy mail server (guess why I did it :-)
