I guess you use vpopmail.
Sorry for the stupid deduction, I confused this mailing list with the
general qmail mailing list :-).

If you use chkuser patch (on for qmail/vpopmail), or Shupp's toaster
which includes chkuser, you can force a server to accept only
authenticated sessions. So, you can set up a dedicated port (like the
submission port) or a dedicated IP only for this purpose.
See http://www.interazioni.it/opensource/chkuser/ for more details.

My apologies, you already mentioned it.. by firewall restriction.
Another question.. spammers could still connect if they knew they
were supposed
to connect to port 587 am i correct? Or did you find a way around
this as well?
Thanks

An option for us to setup a different server that only handles smtp
functionality for our client, however the problem then is that a
domain needs to exist on two servers. one for the popbox and one for
smtp authentication to work. Or is it possible for the vpopmail to
connect to the database on the other mailserver for authentication or
would that be too slow? Does anybody have any other suggestions
perhaps?
Hi Wouter
I ran into this same problem. I got around it by creating a SMTP
submission port that accepts SMTP Auth emails into the server on
port 587. Port 25 only accepts messages from our spam appliance by
firewall restriction.
Each mail client has to be set to use port 587 and SMTP Auth of course.
