hmmm .. sure is empty .. :)
because the file are writen here only when a pop3 login is succesfull
and after 15 minutes (dependens on your cron settings) relay-ctrl-age
delete that file ...

that's ok .. because it use a tcpserver enviroment .. hmmm see bellow (from the README file):

-- BEGIN CUT --
- relay-ctrl-age records IPs in /var/spool/relay-ctrl, checks all
  previously recorded addresses, and removes any that have not been
  updated for at least 15 minutes.  It then lists all of the addresses
  through a pipe to tcprules to build the control database for the smtp
  server.

- relay-ctrl-allow checks the environment for the remote IP from which
  the connection is originating.  It runs relay-ctrl-age to ensure that
  it is recorded in the control tables.
-- END CUT --

If you want to test your configuration try first to connect to the
pop3 server and after a succesfull login try to see if the ip address
is written in the /var/spool/ctrl-realy ...

Actually I use checkpassword instead of checkpoppasword .. and works
fine for me .. maybe it's something that you have to look at ..
