In an "open Internet" situation, meaning that you are acting as a mailserver for your
own clients, you need to "require Auth" or you will become an open relay for the
spammers. Matt is correct, you will need to setup postboxes for your buddy's
customers. Then if he needs the mail you might "digest it" and send the batch to him
for examination. Otherwise, you could autoforward all mail received from his domain
into a "catchall" mailbox and he could use a fetcher to access this mailbox to grab
the mail whenever he needs to. However you still need to setup his clients mailboxes.
