Hello all,
When a pop user logs in to check mail, they send their user password in clear
text over the network. So, a pop user account could be comprimised, and is
therefore unsecure. On a mail server I administer, I set all of the qmail user
accounts shell to be /bin/false which disallows a direct login by the user. This
is fine with me since none of my email accounts will every log in. 

This seems secure, but is it enough? Is there more that one can do to secure pop
accounts?
