The way we do this is to use SMTP-AUTH (rather than pop-before SMTP) in
qmail.  We are a postgres shop and reference the same database and table
that courier uses for authentication; in this way the authorization uses
the same information for receiving and sending.

Side note:  If you use this method and you also use full email addresses
as the username, (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]), and you have Macintosh Outlook
users (5.x) then switch the @ with something else -- for some stupid reason
Mac Outlook users that utilize SMTP AUTH can't have an @ in the username.
We've had success with replacing the @ with an asterisk.
(e.g. joe*somedomain.com)

YMMV.
