1. WHAT ?
=========

smtp authentication is a way of letting people use your mail server as
their relay for outgoing mails in a controlled manner. this means that
(ideally) noone else but those who you permit will be able to relay
through your mail server, regardless of their actual location, as long
as they can connect to the box in question.
