postfix-users,

I have installed vm-pop3d, postfix and OpenWebMail according to Kevin L. Ellis' guide "How to setup virtual users on
Open WebMail using Postfix & vm-pop3d". Now I can login into OWM though my virtual user and virtual domain, for example
moobemoobe.com, and send email to others guys. My DNS settings are list at below:

>> moobe.com
Server: dns.bizcn.com
Address: 218.5.77.19

moobe.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.moobe.com
moobe.com nameserver = dns.bizcn.com
mail.moobe.com internet address = 211.157.7.105
dns.bizcn.com internet address = 218.5.77.19

But I have two issues:
1. I can not send email to moobemoobe.com from other mail address, such as the third party email address. The error
replyed email is like:
< moobemoobe.com> : Connected to remote host, but it does not like recipient.
moobemail.moobe.com has the problem.

2. As my mail user is a virtual user at virtual domain, how can I send and receive my emails through the email
client, such as Outlook. I have configured my postfix to support SASL for SMTP authentication. My POP3 username is
moobemoobe.com, SMTP authentication use the same information as POP3. I can succeed to login into my POP3 server,
although there is no any email cause the first issue. But I can not send any email, my email client can not pass the SMTP
authentication: 535 authentication failed. What's the matter? How should I config Postfix to support virturl users pass
SMTP authentication and send email through mail client? The following is the error logs from maillog and secure.
