Did you mean "does support"?

I don't know anything about this, but the above seems wrong.  Are you sure that
Postfix is passing the notion that it's supposed to use encrypted passwords to
MySQL?

I don't know what's up with this.  The HELO string doesn't seem sufficient, but
it doesn't seem to say why relaying was rejected.

What MUA is being used?  I don't think the MUA is passing the right HELO to the
SMTP server.  The HELO string should be a fully-qualified hostname, not just
"SUFI".

There may be a way to turn off HELO checking in Postfix (I know that Exim has
an option to do that; in fact, I think Exim turns it off by default, but I turn
it on to decrease the amount of spam I get).
