Hi,
Is there any program that can function as "automatic email relay" agent? Basically, I stop all email relay in my fc3 and fc4 systems and allow only some ip address range to relay emails. This way, my users in our subnet and some users at home (who's ip addresses are known) can use outlook etc. to send emails. The problem is that sometimes, some users travel to other cities and they still want to use outlook to send emails. Since I don't know thoses ip addresses, they will get "email relay error".
Is there any program that can temporarily add those ip addresses to the allowed list for email relay for the users with correct password, but not for other strangers, for some days, then later remove it?
I remember somebody mentioned such package, but never used it and don't know if it works under fc3, fc4 with selinux enforced.
I appreciate any help!

Setup SMTP AUTH - that is the only reliable route to go.

Why not just have them authenticate?

That would depend on which mail server you're running, exim, sendmail etc. Let us know which it is
