* DRAC (Dynamic Relay Authorization [or Authorisation] Control), a daemon that dynamically updates a relay authorisation map for [[sendmail]]. It provides a way to allow legitimate users to relay mail through an [[SMTP]] server, while still preventing others from using it as a spam relay. User's IP addresses are added to the map immediately after they have authenticated to the POP or [[IMAP]] server. By default, map entries expire after 30 minutes, but can be renewed by additional authentication. Periodically checking mail on a POP server is sufficient to do this. The POP and SMTP servers can be on different hosts.
