Pete,
Although I agree with your comments with regards to most of the clients (AT&T
Worldnet, for example, won't let you send through an SMTP server other than
theirs...), the clincher is the fact that (what I so apparently left out...) for two
of the domains in question the server is providing "mailhosting" for clients of mine
(and it will probably grow to more). In other words, these clients will always be
roaming/remote. So, I still need some way to authenticate these people so they can
use the server as a "relay" server.
