Well, you MUST (RFC2505, 2.1) prevent unauthorized use of your mail 
server as a mail relay.

So if your question is "since my local users don't have to 
authenticate themselves against my mail server, is there a rule that 
says I can't offer unauthenticated SMTP service to roaming users", I 
guess the answer is "yes, there IS actually a rule forbidding that."

Cheers,
D
