    are you possibly referring to authenticated SMTP - using client/server certs
    to authenticate with TLS?
    you can install client certificates on any machine, and they don't necessarily
    have to have anything to do with the machine's IP (which can make them
    risky). I have done this with postfix (which makes things very easy) as my
    main work machine is a laptop which will have a different IP at each of the
    many sites I send mail from.
    You can then allow only authenticated hosts to relay through your server.
