or something else. Please tell me what should I focuse on?
This is a good starting point:

Basically, in current versions of Courier-MTA, you just have to specify
what login methods you want users to be able to use.
Note, however, that even with authentication turned on, users will still
be able to set the From: header to whatever they want. Headers are, for
the most part, informal, and should never be trusted. If you're
especially worried about making sure that users can only put their own
return address in the From or Reply-To headers, you'll have to write
your own code to do so. Frameworks for perl and python are available,
and the filter you'll have to write should be very simple.
You'll also need to set up SPF records in DNS to prevent users from
putting the "root" address in their From header, and using a mail server
other than yours. However, since very few mail servers are currently
supporting SPF, this will only be partially effective. Users will still
be able to send messages "from" your root account to most of the servers
on the internet.
