Your remote users should use their ISP's SMTP server for their outgoing mail.
This is what ISP smarthosts are for. If for some reason this isn't feasible,
you could use controlled relaying (as opposed to being an open relay).
The best solution, in my opinion, is to use an SMTP-after-POP scheme like
Bruce Guenter's relay-ctrl (http://em.ca/~bruceg/relay-ctrl/).

Relaying is most definitely the issue here if your webmail program sends mail
by SMTP, rather than by calling qmail-inject directly. What you probably
need to do is set the RELAYCLIENT environment variable for connections from
127... addresses in your tcpserver tcprules file. See the qmail FAQ for
more information.
