I think it's debatable whether it's against the law (certainly it would depend on what country the people were in), but you can easily say "we're not supporting that; 'lending' a file while keeping it active on your own device is not what this service is for."
I don't think Kindle & Nook lending software features will work with books that have had their DRM stripped. However, I don't know what you'll be doing to track the lending, so you might not have a way of knowing if the exchange was an actual through-the-software ebook lending, or an emailed copy of the ebook.
I expect that some people would be careless about that, and when they say "X emailed me a book" instead of "emailed me the link to download from Amazon," a followup question could let you know what really happened, and you could ban people found to be using the site for private ebook exchanges. You'll probably miss a few, and it's really probably not worth trying to track those down.
