I am trying to get smtp-poplock working.

I currently have an RH5.2 test system set up.  I have qmail runnig and
pop3 works fine.  I use inetd (please no flames about running
indetd!).  

I followed the install instructions and still seem to have something
wrong.   

If readlog is not started and email goes through qmail the fifo has
data in it.  If I start readlog, the size goes to 0.  This only
happens when sending mail through the system, not during a pop3 mail
pickup.  Nothing ever appears in /var/smtp-poplock.

I do not understand how the program will get authenticated  names from
the log.  POP3 transactions have never been logged to the maillog in
any of my installations.  Is there some switch I am missing?  Some
other entry in inetd.conf besides the SMTP stream entry?

Thanks in advance.
