SMTP_AUTH authenticated users to a mail server. What I'm talking

Postfix will let you do SMTP authentication from one mail server to another, and to address the person who said a school was brute- forced, this is from server to server, not everyday-client to server. If you can't set a secure password on server to server relations (it's not like you need to remember it, generate some random concoction of 1-100 characters and use that as a password). It's like the same thing as setting up a BGP password or a RADIUS secret, once it's set, it's not going to be changed often (or at all), let alone remembered.
