In my server dont work in this way.
With or without check POP before SMPT never ask for password.
I wait more than 30 minutes and i can sent mails without enter any password.

Look at how pop4smtp works. It lists originating servers as IP address. I had to scratch my head awhile to realize that since we all send mail behind a firewall to a mail server on the DMZ that we all appear to be the same entity to the mail server (ie : someone else in the company checks their mail in the last x minutes, I can now check without "popping."

I observed this by executing /usr/local/sbin/poprelayd -p which is the list that poprelayd keeps for its count of how much time remains for an IP to send.

Cheers.
