POP, like IMAP is for delivery to users (read: LDA) What you need to do is go to http://www.sendmail.org/ and read about anti-relaying. You'll tell your users to use the outgoing mailserver of the ISP they're connected to. Do not have an open relay as your domain may be added to ORBS or MAPS. Before you go getting carried away with your production mail server I can't stress enough that you need to read the info on sendmail.org about anti-relaying and spam-blocking. Part of the reason we have so much spam is due to poorly educated MTA administrators, it's as simple as doing som research before you bring the box online. It's a small inconvenience to your users to make changes to thier MUA settings based on the network they belong to. Personally I got a list of IPs from my roaming users and added those IPs to my list of allowed relay addresses. For example my CEO spends alot of time at St. Paul Venture Captial so I added thier subnet as well as his home static IP address.
