Not correct, this only allows your hosts/domains to send/or receive email.  If 
you have a customer with a static IP you can add thier IP address from the GUI 
under the relay for the following hosts/domains or you can simply go to the 
/etc/mail and pico access and add this line.

111.222.333.444 [TAB] RELAY

where 111.222.333.444 is your customer static IP.

then run:

makemap hash access.db < access

to update your access db.

this method will override the popb4smtp.
