>> Put an SMTP service on your system in China for the local users there to
use to send outbound. Tell them the name (or IP) of the system to use. Have
them use AUTH, and have a local copy of your user database there to verify
the AUTH. The system they use to send outbound via need have no connection
with the domain name of their account.

I am looking to do it through Authenticated SMTP using either PAM or
Password. The only concern what will be FROM address on recieving end ? I
mean how the recieving email will know from which domain email comes from.
Through this i think From address can be changed easily that email sent
from @xyz.com rather than original domain user @example.com.
