I can't address this directly with sendmail since I've been avoiding using
sendmail since we got on the Internet 11 years ago.  We've been using
smail-3.2 with the whosond patches (available from sourceforge).  This
requires a minor patch to your POP/IMAP servers which update the WHOSON
server when successful connections are made.  This allows the MTA to query
that server to see if an IP address has accessed POP/IMAP recently.
