That's either courier-imap or sqwebmail putting it in.
We updated the courier-map vpopmail authentication module
to allow allow relaying if it's compiled into vpopmail.
Look in vmysql.c for
void vopen_smtp_relay()
{
char *ipaddr;
time_t mytime;
int err;
mytime = time(NULL);
ipaddr = getenv("TCPREMOTEIP");
if ( ipaddr == NULL ) {
return;
}
if ( ipaddr != NULL && ipaddr[0] == ':') {
ipaddr +=2;
while(*ipaddr!=':') ++ipaddr;
++ipaddr;
}
If it doesn't have the last if statement above, add it in,
recompile vpopmail, install it, then recompile courier-imap.
I think that's what is going on.
