I'm trying to avoid that somebody can connect to the email server and
then send any email to my users without having to authenticate first.

Right now, when i connect to it and try to send an email to the outside
it ask me for password (which is fine), but if i try to send an email to
anybody inside the domain (e.g: f...@mydomain.com) it send the email
without any kind of authentication, so anybody could send fake emails
and/or spam...

I've read that maybe with this configuration i could achieve this:

mynetworks 127.0.0.1/8

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
  permit_sasl_authenticated,
  reject_unauth_destination

So, everytime that somebody wants to send an email no matter what the
destination domain is, he/she will have to authenticate otherwise the
email will be rejected.

But i also heard from somebody that none MTA can distinguish if it's a
client that is connecting using his MUA to send an email or it's a
server trying to deliver an email to port 25.

So i'm a little confused here.
