As usual, it depends...

For the internal network, we allow all machines to drop email.

For the external network (hello Internet!), we only allow mail for
our domains, and mail from people who can authenticate ourselves.

There is no way we can force The World to authenticate towards us
before they can drop mail, so we only force our own users :-)
