Having Witango provide the password would be the ideal thing to do. But I'm not sure how to accomplish it -- perhaps a custom header. I'm not familiar enough with email to know.
As far as the server goes, it is outside my network, but I have not found a way to allow unauthenticated access for only select IP addresses. Unlike SMTP relay for IP addresses, authentication requirements seem to be all or nothing -- as far as I know, anyway. I'm using Mac OS X, so I can't try the program you suggested, but perhaps Sendmail might have a similar capability that you described.
