Thats why you should use mySQL :)
tcpserver (after tcpserver-mysql patch) will automatically check to see if
the IP address is the in RELAY table and if it is, it will send the email.
Every successful pop3 login, will update the RELAY table in mysql. I
wouldnt do it any other way.
I never had any luck wit the open.smtp file either.. thats why I changed.
It's also very simple to migrate a CDB database of users over to mysql. You
would just have to reconfigure vpopmail with mysql support. If this is not
a production server, it's even a stronger reason to switch.
Just my opinion.
