Hello all!
 
SOLUTION!
 
I found that if I build the courier RPM's from source I get a special
RPM with all the smtp-auth stuff! Without it all the config files can be
just fine but you get no auth on esmtp!!!! Also you get no errors or such
when starting esmtp nor anything in the logs stating the auth can't run.
 
1) So! Install the courier-smtpauth package
2) Enable the authentication in the esmtp config file.
  AUTHMODULES="authdaemon"
  ESMTPAUTH="LOGIN CRAM-MD5" (works with KMail and OutLockExpress)
 
3) Restart the esmtp service.
4) Verify with running telnet <smtpserverip> <smtpport> and send the EHLO <myhostname>
    If the reply containg an 250-AUTH ....  line, auth is OK!
 
5) Go ahead and send mail! :o)
 
TIP!
 
If you whant to protect your server from auth eavesdropping don't allow auth-smtp on
port 25. Let this be for local delivery only. Setup the esmpt-ssl to force SSL/TLS and
allow auth. This way you have better protection on your authentication process.
I always try to avoid any auth on non-encrypted connection...
