I'm actually about 15% there with support for xinetd pop3. I can talk to it,
get prompted for username/pass and that's where I'm upto, after that, I seem
to have broken things, and  my connection gets terminated with no message
about good or bad username. I can provide the code so far if anyone is
interested, it's a little messy, I haven't done any proper networking in C
for a while now :-(
