I haven't used it myself, but there's a POP3 daemon associated with Dan Bernstein's qmail system. Since qmail wants to store messages in $HOME by default, it seems likely that the pop daemon will know how to get at them. To the others who have mentioned that there are dangers associated with such a configuration: what are they? Dan's arguments in favour of the arrangement seemed pretty convincing to me. -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
