If you do this, you will open your machine up to be a Spam relay for
thousands of users and find your IP listed in the MAPS RSS and ORBS database
and mail from your machine will be rejected by many ISPs.

If you don't install POP before SMTP, (details in the archives), you should
instruct your users to use their ISPs SMTP server.
