Hi everybody..

Perhaps a bit off-topic, but I couldn't seem to find help through the
standard sendmail channels.

I'm running sendmail 8.9.3 on 3.4-STABLE.  I have a couple of email users
on remote networks who do not have SMTP relay access through their various
ISPs.

To this point, I have been adding lines like the following to
/etc/mail/access to allow them to send mail through our server:

user@sasknow.com	RELAY

... which "works", but, of course, is a terrible hack which allows spam to
come from anyone boasting that address.

The hosts behind the users in question do NOT have SMTP relay access on
any network, nor do they have static IP addresses/hostnames, or even
reasonably small networks to allow relaying from.

I am searching for a more elegant and secure solution.  (Note, I am not
asking for SSL webmail solutions, here :-)  Can anyone offer a suggestion?  
My current setup means I'm pretty much committed to sendmail for now, so a
sendmail solution would be the ideal one.  If there is way to accomplish
this with another mailer, I might run another box with another MTA to
handle this small number of users... However, I'd much rather keep things
simple.
