There are quite a few MTAs and POP daemons that will fit your needs - most of them live in /usr/ports/mail. I've had great success with qmail - here are some sites for your research: http://www.qmail.org - Good site with all the addons (such as your pop before smtp requirement) http://www.lifewithqmail.org - Good tutorial http://matt.simerson.net - Good toaster implementation http://cr.yp.to/qmail.html - Author's site Feel free to mail me if you have any questions.

Mail server howto question
Ok, this is kind of a two part question. So here goes. 1st, I need to build a mail server that does both pop and smtp. 2nd, I need that server to be able to do pop before smtp authentication for relaying. Anyone got a good tutorial on how to do that and how to setup the server to authenticate smtp users via pop before smtp? What mail server software would I need to pull this off? Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info! qmail+vpopmail does this. It is working fine for me. You can set the life span of the smtp authorization (how long after a pop smtp accesses are allowed). When it expires it requires another pop before smtp is allowed. Only problem is I find that one send attempt will fail even if I program the email client to check before sending. I suppose if there is not enough time between the pop and the smtp this will happen. Retrying receive+send at the client once gets rid of the problem until it expires again. If you check email regularly all day it may only expire once a day. So people using the feature will have to get used to getting the one error and retrying after each time it is allowed to expire, unless they can program (or manually arrange) a sufficient delay between popping and sending in their client.
