Q: how to disable OSX server 3 SMTP authentication
Hi,
I upgraded my 10.5 server to 10.9 OSX server. The mail server is only used internally. I use a HP Multifuntion printer which I often use to scan documents and the printer would mail me the scans in PDF. In 10.9 the user have to authenticate in order to send mail via the SMTP server. Unfortunately the HP printer expects an open SMTP server.
I know that underneath OSX mail server Postfix is running. Is there a way to dissable SMTP authentication so I can us my multifunction printer to mail me the scanned documents again?

MrHoffman,
Thanks again for helping me out with your knowledge and kindness. I altered smtpd_helo_restrictions as you suggested and it works fine.
The printer is use in a small office and I agree that the SMTP client is quite archaic but yet I have to deal with it.
I configured the smtp server as tight as possible with your help. It saved me a lot of time!
Kind regards,
Peter
