Re: setting up a new QPopper server

[Kevin M. Barrett]

Patrick,

 #1)     Qpopper is not that difficult to build really,  I am not familiar 
with GenToo except by name,  But as long as you have all the required Libs 
available run configure and make see what comes out.  Look closely at the 
config.log file to be sure what paths are set to and if the defaults are 
not good for you rerun the configure command with the corrected commands 
overriding the defaults.

#2) SSL does work but I do not use it at this point. my users only have 
access to the mail server and nothing else, I personally use ssh to access 
the mail server for pop.  Can not help you with APOP

#3 Most web based email programs are imap not pop Squirrelmail comes to 
mind very functional.

#4 by digests I assume you are talking about mailing list digests, way off 
topic for this list.

#5 Sendmail - Again off topic but - I use exim as a direct replacement for 
Sendmail.  Fast and easy to maintain. very active and mostly friendly user 
group too.

#6 Sleep ... Ha! If you find some let me know where to get it ...
