Correct.

There is an implementation of binkd that authenticates against *each* address (there is a flag for it, but it escapes me) - but I dont think any implementation of binkp protocol does it.

So the authentiction is done against the first address presented, and validated with each addtional address to determine if mail for those addresses should also be sent to this authenticated caller.
