the check_policy_service would need to be the first check in some
smtpd_*_restrictions section. Depending on what you're doing it may
or may not matter which section.

None of the policy service sasl_* fields will be populated without
successful authentication.

While it might be possible to use a check_client_access table,
you're probably better off implementing your "authorized IP" tests
in your policy service.
