Appreciate the comments, and understand your position, but poprelayd is 
nothing more than a perl program that "watches" the maillog for pop3 and 
imapd logins, extracts the appropriate IP address and adds it to the sendmail 
(/etc/mail/popip.db) database to "let" sendmail know who is "allowed" to 
relay (eg who checked mail).

If it is working for pop3 on the XTR, then poprelayd and its associated 
sendmail configuration is correct.  The problem is nothing more than it 
correctly recognizing the imapd logins (which I already fixed for the raq 
series several years ago and passed back to then Cobalt)....
