But, you need Horde (www.horde.org) on order to use it - which is not too bad - Horde - Imp - Turba is the best Web-Mail solution - I think! If you do not need the whole Horde - take a look at the PHP code of passwd, you may extract what you need for the communication with poppassd. Otherwise, Horde works perfect! Hope that helps! --Miro To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
