Oh, you _can_ set it up that way, but I would really discourage doing so.
It usually turns you into a spam site in less than a week. Tell your pop
users to use their own isp's smtp server for sending mail out. The only
exception I would consider would be if the remote user has a connection
with a static ip. You may be taling about pop-before-relay (we don't
include the patches for that), but since pop sends username and password
over clear text, it's insecure anyway.
