No, that's not the idea, I explain myself: Every email is send by some kind of client. Every client sends this email via a server. The interaction between this client and that server must happen with a username (email address) and a password and if possible secured / encrypted not only for POP3 but also for SMTP traffic. A result is that Emails going from server to server are already authenticated at the first server.
That way only authenticated clients can send email... >> See [brackeded] insert below. One must allow unauthenticated SMTP from other mail Servers, they are not clients.

Every mailclient has this possibility built in. Our customers have to do this btw...
