What sort of an mta do you run on your laptop that doesnt support smtp auth?

There are no "good" subscribers trying to send email direct to a
remote port 25 from behind a NAT.

Users, like myself, running Linux on home computers and laptops; our local
sendmail-equivalents will in fact attempt direct delivery to remote SMTP MX
servers, and we generally move around enough that setting a smarthost is
semi-impractical, at least on laptops.

I'm a bad subscriber, Bill?
