Hello,

Is it possible to force a certain user to use SMTP AUTH while allowing others to use both SMTP AUTH and POPB4SMTP?

I would hate to turn POPB4SMTP off server-wide, but we are having a problem with one of our clients who denies sending SPAM mails and says that his IP address is shared with other people (NAT) and he shouldn't be hold responsible.

Not at the moment, no. It's an "on or off" deal...
Are you saying I can disable pop before smtp completely and just allow smtp auth?

I can't find it :( .

Where?

Thanks.

To disable da-popb4smtp:

Redhat:
service da-popb4smtp stop
chkconfig da-popb4smtp off

FreeBSD:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/da-popb4smtp stop
# comment out the start line in the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/boot.sh script

Both:
Empty the /etc/virtual/pophosts file, but make sure it still exists.

popb4smtp, is that basically that you have to login to the pop server 1st to be able to use the smtp service?
 
Basically, yes.

More specifically, someone at the same IP# you're using must use POP to log into the server within X minutes of your attempt to use SMTP to send email, where X is the number of minutes used by your da-popb4smtp daemon.
