POP before SMTP is a way of authenticating an SMTP session. Basically, if the user can sucessfully POP mail from the server, the mail server would then let them send mail through it.
Other methods of allowing mail relaying would typically be SMTP-Authentication (username & password required to send - useful if your clients don't all have POP accounts on the server) and via IP rules. If anyone on this list is ever looking for a non-Windows mail server configuration, check out Inter7.com. They do full installations of a modified qmail systems on any flavor of *nix for a couple hundred dollars remotely. We've had them build several mail servers that are all very well setup.
