I use qmail with pop.  Much more software is being configured to deliver and
collect mail from /home/<user>/<mailbox>.  There are many patched pop/imap
servers at www.qmail.org that will fix this problem.  Imap is the real
security risk I have not had that much trouble with recent pop servers as far
as security goes.
