Then you can either force authentication for EVERYONE - ALL THE TIME and use
SSL or ask those who want remote access to use the web interface and use the
SSL option on the web interface.

If you are concerned about security, then there are options to encrypt the
message between the CLIENT and the SERVER.  Remember, however, that MOST of
the connections between e-mail servers are using PLAIN TEXT to send messages
and attachments and nothing within any message is secure unless the entire
message has been encrypted.

The issue isn't can they authenticate, its can they authenticate without
their password being compromised.
