I have also heard that some email clients like M$'s Outlook Express are
hard-coded to send first. Is there a work around to this other than tell
them to use another client or just ignore the message the first time they
connect?

That makes sense. I am getting the impression that most people support some
form of SMTP auth like Vpopmail? Any recommendations here?

Relaying based on the envelope sender address causes your server to be
an open relay by my standards, a spammer only needs to know the secret
(using certain envelope senders) to use your MTA as a relay.
