I haven't checked recently, but at the time when I was installing/learning ASSP, there was no documentation that I could find that related specifically to how the popb4smtp functionality worked in ASSP. I had to read through the code and run sample tests to figure out exactly what ASSP was doing, and understanding what the popb4smtp was for. For me, the biggest issues I had to overcome for this was 1 - what format ASSP expected the file to be in 2 - where to find the necessary file in my MTA 3 - how ASSP treated popb4smtp (ie: what difference would it make if I had it enabled or not) 4 - what configuration changes (if any) had to be made to the MTA to deal with ASSP performing the popb4smtp authentication checks.
