I think what you need to do is figure out what your needs are first. What you are suggestiong is that you want an unknown (anonymous) box to connect to your mail server via port 25 (sendmail) and somehow login first? Without some way to secure the connection you would be sending a user name and password openly. Why not do something *ahem* simple and just use good e-mail encryption, or better yet why not just have the users log into the box remotely via SSH and send mail internally? Or hey, if you are really feeling ambitious you could pass it all over the web with secure HTTP connections. How much security does one need with e-mail? Why not just fax the documents over anonymous cell phones?
