The draft-RFC says that you "must" require SMTP auth for port 587.
Most of my clients want a single set up. They don't want to have to
change anything, regardless of whether they are home, timbuktoo, or
china too.

Why should it be necessary to have different authentication requirements
for the different ports?
Just set up on VS to listen on 25 and 587 and require authentication for
relaying purposes.
I would guess he's already requiring authentication to relay for his
clients that can still come in on 25.
A better question is, "Why bother using the Exchange server? Just use
the ISP's mail server for outbound SMTP".
(One possible response is "ISP limits message size or volume" but if not
that, then what?)

How do you set one to require authentication and the other "not to"?

Huh?
At least, in Exchange 2003:
Default SMTP Virtual Server
Properties
Advanced
"Configure multiple identities for this Virtual Server"
Mine shows
IP Address TCP Port
192.168.0.10 2525
192.168.0.10 25
Two ports, one IP address, one VS.

Yes, but each SMTP VS can only listen on a single port. So you'd
probably want to add an additional SMTP VS.

I am not sure if Exchange can be configured to listen on 587 in addition
to 25, but it is accepting inbound authenticated connections is what you
meant.
A work around (as long as your Exchange server is properly configured)
is to add an inbound rule to your firewall (you are running a firewall
aren't you) to redirect incoming port 587 traffic on the external
interface to port 25 on the internal destination.

Hello:
We have several users who access their Exchange accounts via POP and
SMTP. Recently, several large ISPs have started blocking outbound
traffic that does not use their servers. Is there a way to tell Exchange
2000 to use authenticated outbound connections (e.g., over port 587)?
Thanks.
