RE: Looking for "lease based popper access"

hi,
not that i have a good solution for you, except maybe looking into RSA
authentication, but:

Thus, when an employee was rejected access, they would send an email
that would invoke a procmail script that would add their IP address to
the file or table with an expiration date. Then the employee would not
be inconvenienced again until the lease expired.

this can be too easily spoofed, and is a very bad idea. maybe you could
install an ssh server on your side which only allows RSA auth for all users,
and then tunnel pop3 via ssh port forwarding.
