Negative. If you are giving accounts to people then you do not need to give relay access to the Internet. Relay access is the number one source of spam. Creating an open relay is one of the most unfriendly and unneighborly network actions that you could possibly do. Also note that if you do operate an open relay your server will be listed in an open relay database. At that time a large number of people will refuse to accept mail from your server. It will be less than useful to operate a mail server from which people cannot receive mail. Bob
