#446 Security rule by host name

[Mingfai]

Add an accepted (and denied) host list. Popfile shall
connect only to the pop servers that are explicitly
allowed.

The reason is obvious. If a user uses popfile on a remote
server, the remote popfile should be configured to allow
connection only to the pop servers that he need to
connect to.

Well, I don't think that what I understand from your saying is
correct.
PopFile should only be connecting to your mail host. That
host has done all the logic of receiving all the emails
previously.
Though some mail host are now doing a 'special' service of
checking the IP address of the sender against a black list of
IPs in order to admit that new email in their queue. The
queue is what our email agent (for example Outlook Express
or Kmail) asks for when it connects to the email host.
When your email program connects to that mail host (your
mail host) it collects all the emails that it has received and
PopFile filters them. It doesn't have to get any other. It is
not a server. It is just a proxie with certain AI in filtering
what passes through it. A proxie is like a street where your
email agent (your ban) runs to bring your emails to you. But
this time, the street is full of 'Untouchable' agents that
classify every email received in different buckets. Am I wrong?
