The theory behind POP-before-SMTP is that when you log as a pop user, 
the IP from you logged becomes open for a while allowing SMTP access 
(and relay) from this IP.

What I do not know is if in PO there is some kind of 
"IMAP-before-SMTP"... not so as per your experience :-)
BTW, I have been using localhost in allowed relay hosts but somebody 
cracked my machine and achieved my PO relaying about 500 thousand 
messages untill I stoped relay.

That's why I asked Tenon for authenticated SMTP in Post.Office which 
is more widely used to avoid relay and very effective.

With authenticated SMTP you need an ID and a password to be allowed 
for sending email when you are in a remote location, of course, this 
ID and pass can be the same used in POP in order to keep things 
simple.

Some mail servers by far more simple than Post.Office are offering 
such a possibility.
