... check the qmail.org website, read the whole chapter about relaying, read
the newbies guide, read lifewithqmail, learn about smtp and pop3. you should
at least know the basics about the protocols and programs involved. smtp has
no method of user authentification, so you need to add that, e.g. by using
smtp after pop: first the user authenticates by creating a pop3 session,
then he/she is allowed to send mails through your server. but this method
has to be supported by your mailclient.
... but if you don't absolutely need that (because you have customers with
dynamic IPs from various ISPs), you should only allow the use of your smtp
server to send out mails from your local network.

okay...when I add the mail domain I am a part of to the rcpthosts file, I can no longer send mail to anyone outside of that, for instance, I am at john.com, if I edit the file I can no longer send anyting to duke.edu. I want to be able to send mail anywhere from anywhere as long as I have a valid account on the system. How do I do it.

People connect to a pop3 account on this network. This is how they get mail and send it. When I edit the rcpthosts file no one can send mail to anyone unless it is someone with the domain name listed in taht file. You can't send mail with POP3, POP3 is only for users to get their mail from the server. To send (and relay) mail, SMTP (software: sendmail) is used. Please try to re-formulate your question to get an appropriate answer.
