I think you have it backwards, but can you explain further why turning off
pop b4 SMTP is more secure? It is my thinking that the user logs in with a
pop, then that same user can send through that account, not every user that
tries.
Without it turned on, it is more likely that any user can send mail through
an account without logging in with a password.
I tested it here and if pop b4 SMTP is off, I can pretty much set up an
email account with my pop server to receive and your SMTP server to send.
