Whoops, you're right.  I forgot that we have TCPIP$POP_LOG_LEVEL
defined to THREAD on our systems, which adds to the detail recorded in
the logfile.  For normal operation, especially if you have hundreds of
clients, each configured to check its mailbox every 5 minutes, you may
not want to capture that much information.  I agree that logging the
client address should probably be the default, at least in cases where
there has been an invalid access attempt.
