The login line can be done fairly easily with a shell script shim called right
after your checkpassword (or alternative) invocation in the qmail-pop3d run
script. This little script should just log the username (from $USER or other
information, depending on your checkpassword) and then exec it's arg(s).
Someone else posted a script to this list last week that did exactly this.
For logging the logout; well, you'll probably have to patch qmail-pop3d to do
this.
