My mailserver uses postfix and has a number of virtual domains. I am getting 
the following difficulties on delivery of legitimate emails to remote 
addresses failing with a request to tun authentication on. I am comparatively 
new to managing mailservers. Could someone please tell me what I need to do. 
My searches on google seem to give me long explanations of what is meant to 
happen but I cannot find simple instructions on how to fulfill the 
requirements!!

dns1# fgrep abc /var/log/maillog

Please turn authentication on (in reply to RCPT TO command))
