Authenticated SMTP

[Luke Kearney]

Hey There,
As has been already pointed out most modern mail software
includes the ability to filter relaying using POP before
SMTP. Most ISP's at least where I am use it. I use it
personally. I would think that an MTA as popular as postfix
would certainly have some components that can be tweaked to
fit your situation but in the *highly unlikely* event that
postfix cannot accomodate you perhaps you could consider
implementing some kind of webmail solution ie Squirrelmail
or some such to accomplish your task. Webmail can be the
handiest thing to have when you are in an airport with an
Internet Cafe and your laptop is in the cargo hold of an
airplane.

**Just my two cents worth**

HTH
