You might want to look at Russ Nelson's open-SMTP or similar things on the
qmail.org page. These are add-ons to Qmail that allow it to relay for
selected IP addresses after they've authenticated themselves (generally via

angry fruit salad /n./
A bad visual-interface design that uses too many colors. (This term
derives, of course, from the bizarre day-glo colors found in canned
fruit salad.)
