This (using normal sendmail channels) is not a problem at all ... as long as
your localhost masquerades as darwin.sfbr.org ;)

Check your mail via imap, and send mail via localhost's sendmail.  See
http://www.sendmail.org and rtfm the faq there about rewriting headers and
masquerading.  Or smarthost through sfbr.org's mailserver (by setting the DS
flag in your sendmail.cf)

 Oh, so your clients dont run sendmail?  Then, just compile something like
 masqmail / nullmailer to relay everything to your smarthost for further
 delivery.
