I have seen several perl scripts that typically scan a log file looking for a
successful authentication to a service (usually POP) and then adds that IP address to
the allowed relay hosts db with a timestamp. The entry is removed after a configurable
period in which the user should have sent their mail. I do not have any handy
references, a search for poprelay.pl may turn up something.
