Actually POP-before-SMTP is one of the preferred ways of doing it (aside from SMTP auth itself) , and can be notched up with SSL on pop3. I personally dont see a problem with pop3 open to the world if its implemented correctly, also far less work than IPSec when it would be overkill for just roaming smtp.
