Why does the unauthenticated SMTP proxy include auth_http statement?

Hi all,

Can anyone throw some light on this for me please?

Looking at:
http://wiki.nginx.org/Faq#How_can_Nginx_be_deployed_as_an_SMTP_proxy.2C_with_a_Postfix_backend.3F

It says "The example is for unauthenticated e-mail as you can see", but
the example clearly shows authentication:

---------------------------------------------------------
mail { server_name mail.somedomain.com;
auth_http localhost:8008/auth-smtppass.php;
---------------------------------------------------------

So I'm confused - should this be in there? Because if so, I'm obviously
missing something about what unauthenticated means...

-Andy
