I just upgraded the port to 3.0b6, please check it out. > > Satoshi I was running a version of 3.0b6 on a src-current base, fetched from incoming/ prior to your upgrade, I've compared your tweaks with what rsnow@txdirect.net provided, all looks highly plausible to me, so should be no problem. (I say Was running simply because at present my ISP appears on the net the other side of the Atlantic, so with the masses of mail I get, it's much quicker to login , gzip the mbox & ftp, rather than have pop handshaking for each individual mail. But I'm confident ports/mailpopclient(3.0b6) should be well behaved & OK for others (& for me when I change ISP to a local based one). PS I noticed your man(1) style tweaks in the Makefile, & will be using them as example for another port I'm working on. Julian -- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
