Try using cucipop, much more secure than qpopper, and very capable. Runs
standalone too, (no need for inetd; just run 'cucipop -Y'). It's in the
ports collection, you're probably going to want v1.3. We use it almost
exclusively now, much better replacement than qpopper (which has some
noted security exploits most people don't bother to fix).
	Also, you should include some sort of subject when you post to the
list, more people would probably respond if they had some inclination of
what the email was about.
