Basically, you need some way to identify the person sending mail, and
permit them to relay. If they are on a permanent, fixed IP address, you
could add their IP to host_accept_relay.

If not, then you either need to use SMTP auth to identify them, or
identify their IP by making a not when they check their mail. This is
typically called "POP-before-SMTP" simply becuase POP is prevalent.
There is nothing stopping you from implementing this with IMAP. IMAP and
POP arent even mutally exclusive.
