pop-before-smtp is highly insecure.
Use SMTP auth.

script to have the thing (daemon) add connecting/authenticating
sender
IPs to a pf whitelist table. I'm running OpenBSD 4.2 (stable) with
Postfix 2.5.
Why not use port 587 to send mail, instead of port 25, and only allow
SMTP Auth from this port.
Right now I'm talking about using pop-before-smtp.
