I would like to have a system where nobody can create/send mail that

There are two issues here created by using the machine as an intermediary,
1) verification that a message came from a specific user account on a machine and
2) verifying that the owner of that account actually (knowingly) sent it.

The first is a mail protocol issue, the second is quite another matter.

Sometimes the non-technical expression of a requirement expands the issue beyond our ability with email] to address it.
