By default isn't the allowed to relay already "securely" set?

There are other sites and home users. Along with affiliates of the company
that use the email server. They do not have a VPN set up yet bevcause this
is a new comany so I guess they have to take their chances until they can
afford the next step. How do I make OWA an SSL connection by default?
Also, I posted a question but did not get a reply about setting a default
domain name to authenticate to so that the external users when they are in
their Outllook mail properties do not have to specify domain name to
authenticate to?
EXAMPLE:
The internal domain and the external are different name spaces for obvious
reasons. Current typical Outloook settings:
Name: Harry Bates
Email Address: harry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
username: harry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
password: **********
(for some reason rocksystems\harry does not work)
Is there a way that I can make it so that it automatically looks up
"username" in the rocksystems.local domain for all users?
Thanks for all of your help so far,
Harry
