Subject: popa3d logging under xinetd

Hello,
 
I've been hacking around in the popa3d code trying to figure out how it
works so that I might be able to get it to log/record the user's IP
address for use with pop-before-send SMTP access control. I just
discovered that the whole "channel" construct is pulling user session
data from a pipe rather than a socket as I was expecting when running
under xinetd. As far as I can tell standalone mode uses a regular
listening socket and obtaining the IP address of the user from the
sockaddr structs is a simple matter in that mode. But I'm at a loss for
what to do under xinetd as I really don't understand how xinetd handles
connections and such. Is there anyone who might be able to lend a little
guidance here?
 
I'm specifically poking around in the do_pop_session(0 function of
pop_root.c.
 
Thank you,
