pop-before-smtp is a module that you install on your mail server so it *always* connects to pop server before connecting to the smtp server. Put it in Google and have a look. AFAIK logged IPs have a timeout of a few minutes. Putting IPs in the database when users connect is not the best solution. If they go surfing before checking e-mail, IP entry will expire - and you are back where you started from. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP Dana 28/3/2008, "Bill Brunton" <bbrunton@icu.net> piše:
Well - it seems that many customers have trouble with Outlook and Outlook Express.. If they have an email in the outbox, say they compose offline and connect to send it, it tries to send it before checking email... In other words no POP before SMTP. If Outlook does not send successfully - then it does not check for new email either. So I get a lot of "I can't send or receive email" complaints.
I have SMTP AUTH set up too but you know how users are - when it does not work they go in and try to fix it before asking for help and SMTP AUTH is found to be disabled or has the wrong info set up.
So - if I could have freeradius add the IP to the popip database when they log in, it would make everyone much happier, especially me.
I think it should be an easy thing to do...

Do you need freeradius at all? This is normally done with pop before smtp. You contact the pop server, it logs the IP and then you can send.

I am using Freeradius 1.1.3 on Centos 5.
I have been trying to figure out how to add the IP address of each authenticated user to the popip database maintained by poprelayd. It is easy to add an ip address to the popip database with the command:
/usr/sbin/poprelayd -a <ip>
How do I incorporate that as post processing step, module etc in freeradius?
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you
