Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client

Hi, we have a WHM / cPanel server that has about 60 clients on it and over the past several months we noticed that some people are reporting problems with people e-mailing them and that the external people get message like the following: ourserverhostname.com gave this error: Please turn on SMTP Authentication in your mail client, or login to the IMAP/POP3 server before sending your message. externalhostname.com[ip address]:3424 is not permitted to relay through this server without authentication. This occurs when someone tries to email one of our customers that is set-up on our server. I have looked into this and not really found anything concrete that has helped other than the obvious that the external users don't have there programs set-up properly but as this is happening more regularly it seems I was wandering if it could there be something on our server that is not as it should be? Thanks

  That specific error is mentioned in this post you might find useful: Why didn't my email get delivered? or where did my email go? - cPanel Forums
