Have you read the tmda-cgi webpage entitled "Passwords"?  It's at:

http://tmda.sourceforge.net/tmda-cgi/auth.html

Personally, I prefer using POP3 as it provides a nice, consistent
interface for the user's to access their mail-related items.

If you don't provide POP3, then I recommend checkpassword (program)
authentication.

Failing both of those, there is always file/default authentication.
This is nice if for some reason you don't want all of your users to be
able to access tmda-cgi.  I can't think of a reason for that, but if
you did, this would be an easy way to make sure they couldn't.

I think I'll change the default in configuration to be remote and then
re-order the items on the auth.html page.  Perhaps that will push
sysadmins in the right direction the first time.
