Mail.app and Exchange 2007

I'm trying to interface the Mac OS X Mail application to an Exchange 2007 server. I've configured Mail to use IMAP, and I've verified that IMAP is enabled on the server because I can receive mail just fine.

I cannot send mail, however.

What kind of authentication does Exchange 2007 require for relaying outgoing SMTP mail? The Mac OS X Mail application has a number of settings for this, but none of the combinations I've tried seem to work.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)

The settings that work for me are:
1. Must specify an Outlook Web Access server. For example, ours is mx1.epm.cc
2. IMAP uses port 993 with SSL enabled
3. SMTP is default ports, password authentication, SSL disabled

What authentication method used is based on how the server is setup. Nobody here can anwer that. You'll need to ask your mail server admins.
