Seb,

The documentation inside poprelayd states:

<quote>
poprelayd is used to enable temporary SMTP relaying trusts by monitoring POP
and IMAP usage in the mail logfile, $logfile.

Every time a POP occurs, the client IP address will be added to the relay 
trust for $timeout_minutes 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 $timeout_minutes minutes will need to be 
restarted prior to sending mail.
</quote>

Check and see when an IMAP session is started if the IP address is added to 
the poprelayd (use poprelayd -p).  If so, then it is the "length of time" 
they are staying connected that is doing it.  If not, then the poprelayd 
program might not be "recognizing" your IMAP sessions (logins) correctly and 
will need to be "tuned" (corrected).  Remember a previous discussion here 
about this same topic and believe Bruce or someone posted an "updated" 
poprelayd to correct the problem (correctly recognize IMAP logins)....  Might 
still be in the archives.
