We handle that problem by adding a specific header to any local
outgoing mail. Then, we accept the mail if it has that specific
header. It's a very simple header, with no attempt at embedding any
secret - but that'll do until some spammer decides that we're worth
specifically targeting. Then, we'd probably use an MD5 hash of the
sender address, a secret and something time sensitive.

Of course, it does mean that home users HAVE to use our SMTP server  
for message submission - so we provide for that with authenticated  
SMTP on port 587.
