True, that's why the standard is a good one. POP-before-SMTP predates SMTP-auth. It's for largely this reason it's in such widespread use - it was all that was available for quite some time to implement any sort of open to the world, but not an open relay mail server. It's my understanding that most companies with an interest in security are moving their networks from homemade POP-before-SMTP solutions to the new standards. My company, Earthlink, just recently rolled out such a service to give our users access to send mail from anywhere.
