Thanks for the positive reinforcement ;-)

It's well beyond my own level of C coding ability, cause I'd have to know
where the current connection info is to pass it through to the auth module
and so on - anyone know who did the service code? Was it Sam? Anyone know
where the service gets it's name from?

Maybe they or he can comment on if that is any easier now than it was before
(I had mentioned the concept about a year ago I think, but if I remember
right people thought it would be a difficult change).

On another topic... I need to do a minor enhancement to allow a separate POP
daemon to run with a different service name... is the service name coded in
the daemon itself? What I'm doing here is facilitating some special types of
messages that my users would always prefer to POP rather than store on
IMAP - they can filter them to a "POP" folder which this extra POP daemon
(running on a separate port from the normal one) accesses to give them the
ability to have both functions run from one account. Would like to enhance
this extra copy of POP to have a different service name - sure I can handle
that if someone points me at the file containing the service name.

Thanks again.

I believe that this requires a code change such as the one that created
the $service variable.

I see... I agree that's a good idea. What do you think Mr. Sam?
