You are running on Debian 3.0, correct? From where did you get the debs? Was there a deb package called "courier-smtpauth"? If so you need to install it if you haven't.
Then make sure that you are advertising authentication. Look in the esmtpd file in your courier 'etc' directory. Look for a line that says
ESMTPAUTH=
It needs to list the kind of authentication methods that you want to run. Your options are
ESMTPAUTH="PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-SHA1 CRAM-MD5"
If you want to use the CRAM methods then the passwords in your backend need to be stored in plain text. PLAIN and LOGIN will work either way. ~ Just list the ones that you want clients to use. I store encrypted passwords only so I only use PLAIN and LOGIN. Remove the methods that you don't want to use. If you want to advertise authenticated smtp for TLS connections then set the "ESMTPAUTH_TLS=" variable.
Now restart courier. Telnet to your courier server and issue a "ehlo default" and see if it advertises authentication. Here's what my server says:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 ivb.sil.org ESMTP ehlo default 250-ivb.sil.org Ok. 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN X-NETSCAPE-HAS-BUGS 250-STARTTLS 250-XVERP=Courier 250-XEXDATA 250-XSECURITY=NONE,STARTTLS 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250 DSN
If you see those "AUTH" lines then everything should be set up. Now your clients should be able to authenticate from Outlook by doing just what you enabled.
Try that and see if it works.
