change the smtp port in the email app your Dad uses, to the port you
specified on the mail server.

and add sufficient access controls, or else become an open relay.
Might as well keep the vpn...

I'm sorry, forgot to mention. but that should go without saying, I mean 
SPF is useless anyway if your server is not properly setup =)

No need for an extra port by the way.  Authorized users can be
allowed to send mail from outside to outside. After all, after
authenticating, dad sort of becomes an internal user.

[ great, another "authenticate/authorize" thread :) ]
