That's quite normal! You can use POP before SMTP Authentification so Virtual
Users must check their e-Mail first. A Program on your
Mail Server will then add the IP/Hostname to the List of People who are
allowed to relay through your Server. You can also open whole
Relay but that is not very wise because your Server will be listed then to the
different Relay Blocking Lists on the Internet. If you don't have
a Clue how to setup POP before SMTP
http://www.octlabs.de/linux/docu/qmail_howto.shtml can maybe help you. I have
written down there
how I installed my Mail Server with POP before SMTP Stuff.
With best Regards...
