Wow, I'm surprised to see smtp auth being required on more than a handful of campuses, given the poor client support (especially in embedded devices). Hopefully the added usage will help get the client issues ironed out soon.
We're requiring smtp auth from the campus dorm networks. We had several incidents last school year where a student's dorm system was turned into a spam relay that then relayed the email thru our campus email servers, which filled them up with lots of email and delayed delivery of regular email by a few hours.
