TMDA is invoked as the user receiving the mail. qmail does all deliveries as the individual user. Thus if the user is 'andrew', TMDA runs as user 'andrew'. 'andrew' needs to be able to send mail through the SMTP server in order to generate confirmation requests. If the 'andrew' user has an SMTP_AUTH username and password, those should be stored in ~andrew/.tmda/config, as Jason indicated. That will keep them secure (as long as only 'andrew' has permission to read/write that file).
