smtp-poplock was done by David Harris. If you're using mbox for qmail
delivery you can use qpopper. I had it set up for quite some time this
way before moving to solidpop. The current qpopper I believe will log
successful logins with IP address. The way I had set it up was to log
username, IP and date/time to stderr then I used tcpserver to run qpopper
and routed stderr to a file called /var/log/poplog. smtp-poplock's
readlog reads this file (I'm just using tail -f) and feeds it to poplock.
What I like about smtp-poplock as opposed to the other solution(s) is that
you don't have to patch any programs to make it work (if you use the newer
qpopper, otherwise you do).
Here's the startup line for qpopper:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver 0 110 /usr/local/bin/popper 2> /var/log/poplog &
and here's the startup line for qmail-smtpd:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -g 1001 -u 1004 0 25
/usr/sbin/relaylock /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2> /var/log/smptdlog &
To see what IPs are allowed to relay you use the program called
showallowed and you get an output like this:
ipaddr (and netmask) access window expires

You do need to make sure that smtp-poplock.conf has the right
parse_log_sub that matches your log output.
No patching.. That's what I like.

Use tcpserver for this instead of inetd. It's more robust, stable and
reliable. In fact I've dumped inetd.
