[Greylist-users] Working with PopRelayd

[Albert Whale]

Ok, I can see real benefit for SMTP Auth, unfortunately, I have to deal 
with people that are computer illiterate.  Therefore, while I will 
probably implement SMTP Auth for better security, I will need to 
implement a check for Authenticated logins as well.  This will implement 
a KISS (Keep it Simple Stu***) for simpler implementation. 

My Goals are Simple:

1. identify whether or not the poprelayd is installed.
2. if # 1 is true, and the IP Address is not in the DB, then test for a 
valid IP Address.
    A simple test can be applied as follows:

poprelayd -p
199.2.115.17    2
66.93.62.210    408

3. If the above is true add the IP Address to the Database per the 
standard procedures.

I've debated updating the poprelayd, but the issue is with sending 
Email, not retrieving it.  Additionally, it appears that some users 
leave their machines on for days, constantly downloading email to their 
PCs.  I think that a more practical implementation would be in the 
GreyListing Test.

I'm not a big Perl Coder, and was wondering if there was anyone that 
could help out.
