Ahah!  I never saw the links on the webpage because of the grey lettering/
green sidebar.  Old age, or maybe some color blindness.  I don't use
poprelayd, but an older variant on the same idea, see:

http://www.iecc.com/pop-before-smtp.html

Anyway, the suggestions of Mr. Messerer on this webpage concerns me.
The poprelayd fiddles with the contents of greylist.conf.  Yuck.

I would much rather have the greylist code use an existing 
Berkeley DB file that my sendmail.cf file looks at by way of the
following entry in my sendmail.cf file:

Kpopauth hash -a<OK> /etc/mail/db/pophash

This is what I'm trying to get to with the entries:

sm_macro "POP relay" "{popauth}" "OK"
acl whitelist sm_macro "POP relay"

in greylist.conf and the corresponding entries in sendmail.cf:

O Milter.macros.envrcpt={popauth}   (or something)

This is what I was trying to get to with M. Dreyfus' help and (maybe)
code debugging of rc5.  I would like to continue on that path.
