Doing a quick search online for 'imap "Login user=" poprelayd' revealed
this old list message
(http://list.cobalt.com/popermail/cobalt-users/2000-July/016593.html),
which _does_ have "Login user=" as the IMAP maillog entry check string
for RaQ3.

So imapd must have switched log entry formats along the way someplace. 
Each user should check their /var/log/maillog to see what IMAP entry is
being made, and modify /usr/local/sbin/poprelayd appropriately (or get
fancy with the Perl and check for _both_ strings at once, I s'pose)...

if ($s =~ /[Login|Authenticated] user=\S+ host=\S+ \[([\d\.]+)\]\s*$/) {

I'm going to submit a bug report once I've also looked at RaQ2 and RaQ3,
and let someone who knows for sure sort it out|provide an
[answer|patch]...
