For each user, create a ~alias/.qmail-username file containing:
|extract_relay
where "extract_relay" is a shell/awk/perl/whatever script that finds
the relay IP address and logs it.
Writing this script is beyond the scope of this list.

It's not that I "consider" it off topic, it's that it *is* off topic.
If it was a one-liner or something I could spout off the top of my
head, I'd be happy to answer you, but it's not. You really should pick
a scripting language, learn about it, and if you still need more help,
contact a support forum for that language.
