Freeradius and poprelayd - any ideas please

[Bill Brunton]

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...
