Look up DRAC. Qpop 4.x has support for DRAC. When you install DRAC, it adds rules to your sendmail.cf file which allows relaying by entries in a custom map. The map file is built by the DRAC daemon. Entries in the map time out, default 60 minutes. What happens is that you install the daemon and DRAC support in your popper and sendmail. Then when someone authenticates via the popper, the popper pushes the IP address of the login to the DRAC daemon which updates the map. The sendmail rules read the map and allow relaying temporarily, until the map entry is removed. It's a kludge but an elegant one, IMHO. The only gotcha is you have to teach your people that they *must* check their mail before they send their mail. Most GUI tools like Outlook Express, Netscape and Eudora can be configured this way. It will work for remote sites like home users as well but you may have a bit of a tussle with engineers who have already got a set up they like that doesn't do that and "...worked fine at my last job." You might have to email them the docs so they can see for themselves how it works.
