Tis I again with ongoing problems...

I had managed to get everything working on the server and rejoiced in
sending and receiving e-mail. Then last night some lil spam bugger relayed a
few thousand mails through the server. Suffice it to say I'm not best
pleased about this, especially now that refining the security settings on
the server to keep unauthorised access out has now stopped me from receiving
mail.

Every time I send an e-mail to the new address it keeps getting bounced back
with the following message:

Connected to [server's IP] but sender was rejected.
Remote host said: 505 5.7.3 Client was not authenticated

Which says to me that the outgoing mail server trying to deliver the message
is being bounced because it's not authorised to access the receiving server.
As far as I can see though I've not restricted access to deliver mail to the
server so why are things bouncing?

A secondary problem to this is that as soon as I restrict e-mail replaying
in any way I then cannot send any e-mails either, but without relay
restrictions I'm getting shafted by the spammers.

Somebody spare me the madness!

TIA
