    initial v1  
    1 er, can't send unauth mail from some places.   Though it's been noted that that list of places will increase eventually. 
     1To clarify, in out-of-band conversations with Garry and Mark, it's been noted that unauth mail is only going to get more restrictive, not less.   I think we need to think harder about this.  Some points to consider. 
     2 
     3- Back in the day (like, the 8.4 days -- Greg or someone should correct me if my memory or inferences are wrong), we moved from Athena machines doing direct delivery to all going through outgoing.  I think was from a desire not only to have mail take a known path, but also because a broken sendmail config could easily cause stupid mail loops.   If we move back to encouraging direct delivery, we should make sure we've thought about this. 
     4- Keytabs are not obviously the wrong answer here for private machines, and we should encourage their use. 
     5- Saving credentials on machines probably _is_ the wrong answer.  Should we support this anyway?
