The system I would be better using my time coding on instead of writing this, in the event of a message arriving from a envelope return address (MAIL FROM command) that has registered an IP list from an IP that is not on the list, issues a temporary failure code and notifies the alleged sender about the message so they can issue a one-time pass or add the IP to their list. It remains to be seen how much of a headache
this is going to be.
