For example, Exim will dump other messages waiting for this target
host down the same connection without regarding the envelope sender.
It takes considerable pain to make exim stop doing this. The methods
to do so severely harm performance. Bad idea.

Smarthosts that impose such restrictions on an authenticated client
don't want to offer their services to a fully-fledged MTA, they want
to see MUA connections only.

Greetings
