Hi folks, 

In pseudo code here's how I want my outside mail exchange system to
behave: 

        if  mail_sent_by_outside_host_to_inside_user 
        then 
                relay_to_inside_user
        elsif 
            mail_sent_by_inside_host_to_inside_user 
        then
                relay_to_inside_user
        elsif
            mail_sent_by_inside_host_to_outside_destination
        then
                relay_to_outside_destination
        elsif mail_being_sent_by_roaming_laptop    <-- need this!!!
                relay_where_it_needs_to_go
        else
                reject

The part that seems broken (and that is probably a good thing) right now
is the roaming laptop part.  Since I travel a lot with my laptop both
for business and personal purposes and would like my laptop to relay
mail through my server when "outside the cloud" so to speak, what is the
best approach to this without breaking the MX functionality for my
domain? 

I've read "The Book" on this subject about SASL authentication and my
fear is if I implement that I'll not be able to receive un-authenticated
hosts (such as the fine server that serves this list) and that would be
a bad thing. 

Can somebody point me in the right direction and hopefully not screw
this up?
