It's not a supported on included part of qmail, which has not been 
modified in a number of years.  The functionality is provided only 
via unofficial patches.

I agree that it is pretty critical, however that is not the opinion 
of the software author (or if it is, he hasn't chosen to integrate 
it with the main distribution for whatever reason).  Many people 
are still quite happily using vanilla qmail with relayctrl 
providing pop-before-smtp style relay access.  So, though I do rely 
on it, it's an add-on feature that many opt not to use.

Cheers,
