What do I have to do? =) Presumably, your friends' ISPs already provide mail relay services for their dialup. The easiest course of action is to have each of your users use their own dial-up provider's mail relay for outgoing SMTP, even if they use your mail server's POP for incoming mail. That way, you don't need to worry about opening yourself up to abuse from anyone else who shares the same ISPs as your users. The somewhat harder course of action would be to use SMTP AUTH, which asks for a login and password before allowing relay, but the end-user's client has to support it.
