It is an smtp verification method. Imail (as does almost all mail servers)
does IP checking and/or username password in order to relay mail through
the server. (unless, of course, you want to leave the server open)
I am not too familiar with Pop before smtp, but basically you POP check
your mail via username/ password authentication, and the mail server will
dynamically add your IP to the "allowed IP" list for SMTP relay for a
period of x minutes (20- 30 minutes is a good time to set)
This is another way to allow users to relay mail when not coming from an
"allowed"IP. Direct SMTP username/ password authentication can be burdensome.
