I have two problems that I need assistance with:

1.  I am using Thunderbird mail client and setup SMTP with authentication.  When I send a message it takes quite long for it to go through.  The server logs are as follows:

Dec 22 17:13:28 server courieresmtpd: started,ip=[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] Dec 22 17:13:29 server courieresmtpd: error,relay=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,msg="535 Authentication failed.",cmd: YWJpZCBlNDU2YTJkYWUwZjNhMzFjNGViMTEyMGMyMTc2ODJlYg== Dec 22 17:13:37 server courierd: newmsg,id=0024A81C.458C5891.000097C8:

I can't figure out what is causing the authentication error, as the email eventually goes through without any further action on my part.

You may not be required to authenticate in the first place, from your IP address, so you can proceed to send mail, unauthenticated.

You may not be able to authenticate either because you did not supply the correct userid/password, or you've enabled CRAM authentication, but you are storing encrypted passwords. CRAM authentication requires cleartext passwords.
