We have similar functions on our websites...
I'm pretty sure the servers that send to the IMail server would have
fixed IPs. You can just add those IPs to the relay address list. That
way the servers won't need to authenticate, but your users will.

Subject: [IMail Forum] SMPT Authentication for Website form scripts?
Hi, we've been running our SMTP Mail replay as "Relay for local hosts
only". Unfortunately we've been Black listed by http://orbz.org. Anyway
the only way for us to come off the black list is to set our relay
options to "No mail relay". We can't do "Relay for addresses" as a lot
of our hosting clients use dynamic IP address or we never have an
accurate count of mail address and IP's.
Our problem with setting the SMTP server to "no replay" is that we use a
lot of contact form scripts and other application scripts to send
e-mails (mainly written in Cold Fusion); "No mail relay" requires SMTP
authentication, and although we can have our clients set there mail
clients to do this (i.e. outlook), how do we send these commands to
iMail's smtp server from a website. i.e. from a contact form script
written in Cold Fusion for example.
Our current scripts currently send information such as the FROM, TO,
SUBJECT, to smtp.domain.com.
Once we changed our replay options, the scripts would not send e-mail
out, especially if they where out side of our network, i.e. a hotmail or
AOL account.
We have to run as "Relay for local hosts only" until we can resolve the
problem with our form scripts. Therefore we are still black listed at
the moment.
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
