Steve, the SMTP-AUTH functionality is added to qmail as a patch. With SMTP-AUTH and
VPOPmail, you are able to authenticate virtual domain users into a _temporary_ mode to
run your system as a relay based upon their IP being added by VPOPmail into a table
of recently authenticated IPs. This IP
for the long winded email, but I hope that helps to clear things up.
SMTP can be confusing ;).

Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Newbie trying
i'm trying to configure my vpopmail + squirrelmail + qmail to not be an open
relay. The only way i've found to control this is put restricted domains in
the rcptshosts file. A concept of popb4smtp seems to be slipping through my
fingers. I've read the /usr/local/vpopmail/docs switches. From
