External (roaming) users.  Just about all my users are external users.
Hence all the issues that I am encountering.

But having ASSP enfore the AUTH, it resolves one of my biggest issues.  The
only issue now, which is not something that is easily fixed, is that all
my incoming mail connections from other MTAs will have to be unsecured
(non-SSL) over port 25.  It isn't the end of the world I guess, but it would
have been nice to be able to support secure MTA->MTA connections.
Unfortunately, no matter how I slice it, it just isn't feasible with the
current implementation of ASSP.  Maybe down the road ASSP will natively
support SSL.  Until then, I will have to live with this configuration.
