This is trivial to implement.  You use an "accessdb" in your sendmail
configuration, and update it when people successfully log in via POP3;
you need to log the IP address so that you get the specific port,
instead of opening a huge hole for anyone claiming residence in a
domain.  It's called "SMTP relay after POP".
