Uh.  I see seven emails with the same misunderstanding of what I said.

I never advocated using POP-before-SMTP and POPAuth as a security
tool.  The *original* intent of POP-before-SMTP was security, and this
is not my suggested use of the tool at all.

My point was since users are *already* authenticated and Arthur was
unable to verify the authentication in SpamAssassin, he could use
POPAuth to add the users' IPs to trusted_networks.
