It does the same thing - allow any client to send mail provided they
successfully authenticated with the POP3 server first - but that's
the only way they're the same. smtp-poplock reads a log (or pipe,
it's configurable) and updates its database with the IP. When someone
attempts to connect to qmail-smtpd it checks the database and sets
RELAYCLIENT before launching it, just like tcpserver would if the IP
was in the cdb file it looks at. It works off of the same concept as
qmail - modular and simple.
