Nope.  The only way that lmtpd knows that Kent has sent the message is 
for the LMTP client to use LMTP AUTH when connecting.  This usually 
happens if Kent uses SMTP AUTH to submit the message, and the MTA passes 
this info along to lmtpd via LMTP AUTH.

If [SL]MTP AUTH isn't used in both places, you're screwed and you'll 
have to stick with allowing anyone/anonymous posting to the mailbox.
