I think the original poster is just 'scared' because the POP3 protocol
uses cleartext command (telnet, perl script, python) could connect up and

Thinking that telneting to 110 and giving the same commands at a console
is somehow 'hacking' a system.
It will blow thier mind when they telnet to port 25 and can actually SEND
mail!
