I tend to agree with this one, even though I implement this on my own 
servers.  However, I use Perdition to implement this so that's only one 
program I have to hack instead of two programs or two components of one 
program.

However, I also have SMTP-AUTH set up as well as the preferred way of 
doing things.  I ultimately hope to be rid of POP-before-SMTP at some 
point in the future.
