To quote from the poprelayd program:
<quote>
poprelayd is used to enable temporary SMTP relaying trusts by monitoring POP
and IMAP usage in the mail logfile, /var/log/maillog.

Every time a POP occurs, the client IP address will be added to the relay 
trust
for 30 minutes.  Every time an IMAP session is started, that client will
be added to the relay trust for the same amount of time.  IMAP sessions that 
last longer
than 30 minutes will need to be restarted prior to sending mail.

It should be doing IMAP already in addition to POP, but what might be 
happening is that your IMAP clients are "staying" connected longer than the 
30 minutes or whatever you have the "relay" time set for
