Default Re: Postfix + SASL

Well,

Finally I found the reason of the error. The reason is the configuration line:
smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous

The line is defined as "must be" in every manual I've read (but not explained
why).

Please, explain me the meaning of this line. As SASL is used no anonymous user
can send mail. The meaning of the line:
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated, check_relay_domains,
reject
is:
a) when authenticated, then do everything
b) else, check if we can relay to this domain (=my domain)
c) else - go away
(btw something is wrong here, as I can send everything without auth from
localhost, 'permit_mynetworks' option is not used)

So why do I have to use additional noanonymous option? And why postfix refuses
to run when this option is used?

Regards.
