If the sending user has an account on your mail server, then that
user would have to configure their email client to deliver their
email submission directy to your mail server.
If the sending user has email accounts on more than one server
(e.g., gmail and hotmail and your server) then they may very well
try to submit mail via their hotmail account, even if they intend
to send mail to someone on your mail server.
