I don't think there's anything packaged doing POP-before SMTP -
typically that sort of thing is done on an ad-hoc basis and is quite
site-specific. Most of the people who would need things like that
aren't doing anything particularly standard. The name DRAC springs
to mind as being worth checking out, though.
Depending on the client software, other approaches to look at would
include UUCP over TCP (mostly for people using Unix boxes) and IIRC TLS
mail servers can authenticate clients with the certificates they use.
Don't quote me on the latter one - I've never looked at that stuff.
