Dear Kurt Bigler:
Thank you very much!
Before I upgraded qmail to use smtp-auth, I had the roaming option to allow to send
mail and had a cron job to clear open-smtp IPs as your said, all of that had worked
normally. when I used smtp-auth, I just patch the qmail and change the RUNSMTP script(
NOT recompile vpopmail whitout Roaming option), So I think that the fouction was still
effectual, it is to said that I can send mail without any authentication in a while
after I recieved email by POP3, right?? I think it is THE problem.

I don't worry about it because that cron job was still worked.

But I couldn't find out any issue about that :-(
And I don't sure whether I can send mail to internet (after I recompiled vpopmail
without roaming option) or not.
Any suggestion?? Thanks ahead!!!
