| Description | watch log for pop/imap auth, notify Postfix to allow relay |
|---|
| Spam prevention requires preventing open relaying through email
servers. However, legitimate users want to be able to relay. If
legitimate users always stayed in one spot, they'd be easy to describe
to the daemon. However, what with roving laptops, logins from home,
etc., legitimate users refuse to stay in one spot.
.
pop-before-smtp watches the mail log, looking for successful
pop/imap logins, and posts the originating IP address into a
database which can be checked by Postfix, to allow relaying for
people who have recently downloaded their email.
.
Contrary to other similar tools pop-before-smtp needs no hacking
in the mail daemons. On the other hand it requires the pop3/imap
daemons to run on the same machine as pop-before-smtp and postfix.
