Sorry... don't buy it. Upgrade your MTA to sendmail 8.10 or above and
have your customers use current versions of their MUA's if they wish
to travel. SMTP-AUTH is your friend and it appears to be fairly well
supported now within the various consumer MUA's. (Admittedly, this
time last year that wasn't necessarily the case)
I fail to see an occurrence where an open relay is "necessary". Can
you describe one for me?
