Subject: popa3d syslogs / sendmail POP-before-SMTP

Hello there,

I recently fired up my Sendmail server, and I have been toying with 
POP-before-SMTP. I downloaded poprelayd for sendmail 
(http://poprelay.sourceforge.net/) that checks the maillog log file for 
successful pop3 logins. This doesn't seem to work all that well with popa3d 
since it stores its log entries in at least two different logs (Slackware 
9.0) which is 'secure' and 'messages'.  What the script needs is the 
"Authenticated" and the IP entry on the same row.

I saw a note on the popa3d homepage about a whoson patch that would be the 
preferred method to do POP-before-SMTP, which I looked at briefly, although 
I could not derive too much from the patch itself.  Can anyone point me in 
the right direction towards finding information about how to make this work 
with Sendmail?

The other option would be for me to simply alter the log message sent to 
syslog to include the IP, perhaps.  I'll try that as well.

Warm Regards,
/Torgny
