Yeah - that can be difficult.  Do these other folks have static IPs?  That
would be easy to restrict.  However, it never is that easy.

I've heard of sites that setup mail so that a user *must* login via POP3 and
get mail before they will allow SMTP connections from that IP.  Not sure how
to set this up though - though you might be able to do it with shell
scripts, and log files.  I'm sure there's a simpler and more elegant
solution - qmail maybe?
