Authenticating sent mail with SMTP/IMAP on DU?

Hello gurus,

        I've been scanning the web sites with little luck on this question
and was hoping someone may have had experience with this. I appologize if
this is skirting the edge of appropriate subject matter.

        I'm running DU 4.0D with latest patches and Sendmail 8.8.8. I've
recently installed WU's IMAP and it works beautifuly. Well, assuming that
you are honest. I was curious if anyone had experience with IMAP/POP in
the "computer lab" type environment. I'm not worried about mail getting
sucked to the local machine, that part of IMAP seems to be working fine.
The problem I've found is that each reader I've used lets you fill in
whatever you want for your name and return mail address. Obviously this
will change _often_ within the computer lab and it allows the less-honest
people to fill in whatever the heck they want. Is there a way to get some
authentication involved here? Where should I look, Sendmail?
TCP_Wrappers? I should note that this mail server is within our firewall
and the only place it receives mail from would be A) the
workstation/pop-mail reader and B) the firewall (relay). If I can't find
a reasonable solution (which I know has to be out there somewhere, most
likely right under my nose) I don't think I will be able to put this in
the labs... (faculty desks on the other hand)... It would be even better
if the fix prompted for a password. ANY help at all is appreciated.

Will summarize.

Britt
