FYI
I have a LWQ type pop3 install and have passed on the info to quite a few
people, so I know it works. If anyone is looking for that kind of solution,
just let me know and I will pass my information on again.
Dave if you need any info on my install (doubtful) let me know as I would
love the opportunity to pass knowledge back to LWQ.
