Hi Chad,

We are not using the qualcomm pop server but the following may be
of interest.

We are using the pop3d daemon supplied with AIX 4.2.1 on our popserver.

However, we discovered that login activity on a popserver is very high
(because users tend to set their POP clients to check for new mail
every minute). Since the AFS authentication process is relatively
heavyweight (it has to go off and connect to the kaserver), we had
problems with "POP logins" slugging the popserver.

Our current solution is not to use AFS authentication for POP users.
Instead, local authentication is used.

This works very well and is coping with the growing number of POP users.
