pop-before-smtp is a solution to use smtp from mobile locations without
using an smtp-auth technique.
Basically, you authenticate through pop, if the authentication is
successfull, then your IP is marked as "ok for relaying" during a
periiod of time.
Very usefull when your users connect from different places as they have
dynamic IPs.
