I do it all on the "main" machine at my home/office. I get to see and
answer the mail While I'm away and I copy over the sent mail from my
laptop to maintain a record.

I just wondered. It is an issue for some. I run my own server so I can
do it how I want and I use APOP sends which means that I use PMmail's
POP send via an authenticated encrypted login and my POP3 talks to its
adjacent SMTPD and so the send is not on an open relay. Also I avoid
using an account on an ISP and having funny return addresses.

My next server will use APOP for the POP3 to collect mail and SMTP
after POP to allow remote sends. It stashes the IP of the connection to
POP in a list of OK addresses for SMTP. They time out after a short
period.
