You could set up open relaying, but then every spammer in the world would
use your server, and you would end up on every anti-spammer's black list. :)

Seriously, check out SMTP AUTH.  I believe that there's a PAM module for it
somewhere that will allow your users to authenticate against user accounts
on your server, and once that is done they can send email.
