how can i deny unknown/fake users when they try to send mail through my
server? (with pop3 clients)

I can fill in any made up name/account i want in my pop3 mail client's
userid and address and send it by way of my server to anywhere and
apparently it delievers it and says it's from
fake_user@www.my_domain_name.com or what ever even though fake_user
doesn't exist on my system.

if possible, how can i set things up to only allow known/valid users to
send pop mail through my server?

I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE and qpopper-2.41b1

thanks in advance,

rwmcfa1@sac.uky.edu
