I mean... if a pop3 user log's in and collect's his mail from an outside 
network, the user should be able to send smtp mail with out giving a 
password to the smtp for a specified time period.

All most every windows based mail server will allow you to do this!, 
(except sendmail for NT)!.

Why is it that send mail can not catch up?

Also I know you can set up a cron event to scan your drive for viruses but 
I do not know of any REAL-TIME virus scanners for sendmail.....but, yet 
again there are plenty for the windows environment!.

Could this be the problem the government's is having with email virus? 
(exchange & outlook aside).
Does it still ring true " You get what you pay for"????.
