Hi Nicole,
as Jake suggested, eMPF would probably help you since it forces all uses to authenticate before sending out email. To send email, you must have a valid email on the domain and supply the correct password.  eMPF is really very easy to set up.  In your case, all you would need to do is edit your /var/qmail/control/policy file and add a line like this

mydomain.com:LREI,

Replace "mydomain.com" with your real domain.  This will allow all valid and authenticated email addresses to send and receive.  You will need to put your username @mydomain.com and password into your email client (ie. thunderbird).  Don't forget to reload/restart qmail after you edit the policy file and make sure you have a comma at the end of the line (just as in the example above).

If you want more control over who your users send and receive email from please see the qmail wiki.  Specifically http://www.qmailwiki.org/EMPF

HTH.

"their own creativity"? 

since they are inside network developers use the id's on their own means '[email protected]' '[email protected]' etc

and the mails were going out without any issues. i am wondering where i missed out the SMTP auth config wrong.
