Another question, port 8025 is only used when sending from a pop3 client?
Squirrelmail (or any imap user) does not use this proxy, correct?
tmda-ofmipd lets a client expecting an SMTP connection run a message 
through the outgoing filters.  Any POP3 and IMAP client running on 
another machine would fall into this category, unless you're using the 
weird IMAP-outgoing feature that Cyrus introduced a while back -- I 
don't know any clients that do, but hey....  They might exist.  In that 
case, the IMAP server is the program you worry about doing the sending, 
see next option.

Programs, including web-mail, which run on the server itself may also 
support calling the MDA program (i.e. sendmail), rather than 
transmitting it via SMTP.  In this case, have it call tmda-sendmail for 
the same effect.

Also, I was under the impression that TMDA would automatically put users on
my whitelist if I send them an email to and that reply within a time frame.
This doesn't seem to work. Do I need to configure this?
 

You're probably thinking of dated addresses.  The outgoing filter can 
put tagged addresses with a variety of criteria which will work 
regardless of whether a user is on the confirmed list or not.  For 
example, the last command in my outgoing filter is the following:

   to [EMAIL PROTECTED] tag
           envelope        dated=10d
           from            bare
           reply-to        dated
This says that e-mails to unknown addresses get marked up.  The envelope 
address, where bounces would arrive, is dated for 10 days -- plenty of 
time for a message to fail for whatever reason.  Doing this means I 
don't need to let in messages from <>.  Reply-to gets a default (mine is 
5-day) dated address, so someone can reply.  I leave the From address alone.

You can also auto-append people you send e-mail to (regardless of 
replies) with the bare=append action in your outgoing filter.  I 
suggested an equivalent (ok=append) for the incoming filter, appending 
if certain criteria are met on a received message; someone said he might 
work on it, but that doesn't exist yet.
