You should probably use SMTP AUTH, it took me a minute to decode ASMTP,
and was only able to do so by context.

But that said, pick whatever you are most comfortable with, you don't
necessarily need SMTP support here - you can do it all with SASL/PAM,
and it scales pretty well.   If your users are in LDAP, as mine are,
switching from libnss-ldap to libnss-ldapd can be pretty big win
resource-wise.
