Unauthorized use of mail relays is already preventable.  Why legislate
against something (which merely establishes a penalty for it) when you
can stop it from happening, cold.  Just install qmail -- by default it
prevents relaying.  http://www.qmail.org.

[ For the sake of truth, I run that site, and I also provide
commercial support for qmail -- but I do both of those because qmail
helps stop spam. ]
