hello everybody:

before installing qpopper in my pc, I read the guide.pdf that comes with the software 
but all the same I have some doubt ;)
I use slackware 8.1 and my 'machine' would have to act as a stand-alone mail server 
for the client of a couple of workstation linux + win.

I thought to configure qpopper enabling server mode turning off the option for my 
account on the server, reserving me the opportunity to telnet to the mail server from 
the two ws.
The same think I'd like to do with the 'fast-update' option but I don't know how...

Then I hope my distribution let me use quietly the option --enable-specialauth with 
./configure command 
(I didn't find in guide.pdf an equivalent option for the configuration file, and so for

--enable-apop
--enable-popuid
--enable-bulldb
--enable-debugging)

My most important doubt concern the part of security and autentication:
may I use apop + tls/ssl encription or, using apop, tls/ssl is superfluous?
(apop comes with qpopper or I already must have it installed?)

At last :), I'd like to know more about the 'bulldb-max-retries ' option


Thanks
