My windows (Outlook/Outlook Express) users accepted it without even knowing it.
What seems to be the problem? Maybe its the brief error (they may or may not)
encounter the first time if and only if they try and send before they POP? Well
forseeing that as a potential problem I chose not clear my
/var/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp with that cron job every hour so once they are in,
they are in for a good long time (until I manually clear it). Now maybe thats
seems like a bad thing to some people but it beats adding theit IPs to
/var/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp by hand. And it works fine, not a single complaint
yet. Once the send fails, if they simply try F5 (send and receive all) again
the POP goes through and then their mail sends fine.

I will be monitoring this thread as I am slightly interested in this also.
Hope that helped
