I just have a small shell script that greps the maillog for recent pops
and adds them to the access list.  Every minute cron runs this and updates
access.db.  After an hour, it's no longer there.  You just have to pop,
wait one minute, then you can send for an hour from that IP.  It's a real
kludge, but works for me -- I have folks that all over the world that use
my mail server, from Germany to Korea (U.S. military folks I know mostly).
