Are you sure your users machines cannot read mail? They should.  Not
Sending is understandable,  you have to allow relaying to the users
machines. that willl be sending the email.

in my case I made a relay that allows my entire ip range.  It was easy
since I have a class C range of ip addresses.

Maybe your best bet is to use smtp auth.
