using tcpserver from Dan Bernstein you can bind the pop server to one IP
only or the other, or at least pass the IP address as an environment
variable to the pop process or even set a flag in the environment
according to the originating IP address. all you will have left to do is
hack the process (or maybe PAM if the popd uses it?) to check for the
environment flag and decide on the action.
another choice is to have a 486 machine outside the firewall for some of
the users (only those who poll mail from home) and the rest will be
inside the firewall.
more ides?
