Hello, When you say "authenticate" do you mean check to make sure the recipient is a valid user or that you are doing actual username and password to verify clients before mail from them is accepted ? If you want to simple valid a recipient you may want to rethink this idea. During a dictionary attack your Active Directory server could become unavailable do to the massive request for authentication from the SMTP server. Ideally you could install OpenLDAP on the mail server and twice a day have a script pull down a list of users and create a address book that your SMTP server can read. Use OpenLDAP to query the AD server and bring down the e-mail addresses. Michael.
