Sounds very reasonable.  (The same apply to my "whoson" info, BTW).

The bad thing is that "openssl/ssl.h" is hardcoded in smtpserver.h, so
you cannot workaround with configure options.  Ideally, configure should
find the header file and set either -I$(openssl_prefix)/include or
-I$(openssl_prefix)/include/openssl in the Makefile.  smtpserver.h would
only have "#include <ssl.h>".

Another question: how do you actually use auth?  Can you, e.g., require
auth for a specific set of networks?  How do you tell to the policy
checker that if auth is used, then the source is "trusted"?  Any docs?
