huacheng> 1. use AUTH function is a good idea ?
I think so. But, your favorite mailer may have no support of SMTP
AUTH, yet.
huacheng> 2. use AUTH function can give us propriety security ?
SMTP AUTH is superior to POP before SMTP.
huacheng> 3. if outlook express support it, in what kind of auth ?
Outlook Express supports LOGIN only. Since it uses plain password,
you may want to use TLS in conjunction with SMTP AUTH.
huacheng> 4. does anybody experience it ?
We are using it in day-by-day use. But, though we are enabling TLS,
we don't enable plain password such as PLAIN and LOGIN.
