Again, the problem is that your friends would be doing unauthorized
relaying from the ISP's domain. If your friends decide to spam
somebody, the ISP would be implicated, but they would have no record
of the spamming activity. Because of this possibility, the practice
you are trying to implement is unauthorized. Ask your friends to
check with the ISP if it is OK to do what you are proposing.
Under qmail it is possible to allow relay for
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
hence with knowing a range of IPs, you can do what you want.
