Nope, you're not missing anything. The original poster could indeed
use SMTP AUTH to completely provide the service he wants to provide,
without creating an open relay, but apparantely gets more enjoyment
out of trolling this list than actually taking anyone suggestions.
However, I now see that his motivation has recently degraded into
paranoia of wire-tapping. Each hour that passed, his reasons for
being an open relay has degraded into the more bizarre and illogical.
