Hi all,

can someone xplain me how to modify the current pop3 service from inetd to
tcpserver ?

Currently inetd.conf shows:
pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup ourhost.nl /bin/checkpassword
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d ./Maildir/

But I'd like to run it with tcpserver so I can get rid of the DNS lookup's
since that slows the pop3 service down enormously;
Also, I noticed some postings about SSL on POP3, how does this work ? And
how do you configure Outlook to use SSL on POP3 (didn't check if this is
supported standard yet)

BTW, Maildir is definitly easier then I expected, I used mailbox before
which didn't cause problems, but Maildir's are clearer in use :)
Now I'm currently using fastforward to be able to use /etc/aliases.cdb, but
is this slower than qmail's native aliases ? If so, how does it work exactly
? The manual is very cryptic about this... All I know is that you have to
create a .qmail file in the alias directory, but I don't understand how this
file should be named and what it's contents are supposed to be.

Thanks a lot for some help on these questions :)

Regards,
Jeroen ten Berge
