I don’t really understand what you want.
“postfix smtp auth client side” should mean smtp (postfix sending mail
as client).
But this has nothing to do with outlook express sending mail to the
postfix mta - which is smtpd in postfix.

check for “postfix smtpd auth”, e.g. ‘Postfix SMTP AUTH (and TLS)
HOWTO’ (http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick.koetter/smtpauth/)
(which is a bit old) or ‘Postfix SASL Howto’
(http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html)

hi,
I set postfix with following setting.
mynetworks = 168.100.189.0/28, 127.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/16

It can using OE to send and receive mail, but it can’t send email out
of office, and get SMTP relay denied. For workaround, I change to
below.
mynetworks = 168.100.189.0/28, 127.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/16, 0.0.0.0/0

Than it can send mail in out of office, but now it can sending email
without auth, that means everyone can relay this mail server without
auth.

I need setup SMTP auth option in postfix so that OE send email need
auth, so what I should set in postfix?

Many thanks

This is not a problem at all. Everyone is at some point new to
something.

The problem may be that you don’t want to learn.

To tweak mynetworks may manouver you around your problem, but has
nothing to do with AUTH directly and may cause other problems.

Good luck!

hi,
configuration like .conf file is not easy than GUI mode, during my
testing, I have to try different option combination in main.cf to test
what I want to do, this process is tight because there have many options
can be set in main.cf file.
As I remember remove ‘172.16.0.0/16’ in mynetworks, then it need auth
for sending mail, not sure, because I had try many options, just guess
