Excellent solution for roaming / road warriors wanting to use company mail
servers to SMTP.  As I use qmail, you still must list who is allowed to
relay SMTP either locally or remotely, and for virtual domains. 

When I build servers, I always use POP before SMTP, much different
version, but same funcitonality. I use relay-ctrl for qmail. Wouldn't

Have used this also, when building servers for others, but personally
prefer Pop before SMTP.  I leave it up to the client as to what they
prefer.
