Another way of doing this is to use SSL over SMTP, and have a private
key on the sending computer authenticate you to the server, and allow
relaying.
I have done this with postfix-tls here, but don't think it is
supported by debian.org (?). Also, unlike Russell's solution, you have
to use the SMTP port, so if this has been blocked by some firewall you
are out of luck.
