I think traditionally it would be classified as (part of) an MTA, because certain old and very well-known software conflates the SMTP service and the POP3 service by having used the same big fat binary to offer both services. Even Courier can do both; it just uses separate components to do them. Come to think of it, I can't even think of an MTA that doesn't come with a POP3-server component. -- Nathan Eady Galion Public Library ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
