He wants to be able to run it on his firewall/gateway machine and pull
all his mail from the ISP's POP server on to it, then POP it down to

Try a "man chroot", and a, depending on your setup, "info chroot". If

The difference between smtp servers and pop3 servers is that one recieve
mail and the other sends your mail to its destination, pop3 or post
office protocol sends your mail out whereas smtp is used to recieve mail
from various locations.

smtp is simple mail transport protocol.
pop3 is post office protocol (3?)
pop3 picks up mail delivered to a machine.
smtp delivers mail to and from a machine.

hi !
the difference is simple :
pop3 is the server that you use to get your mail (port 110)
smtp is the one that you are sending mail with(port 25)
in order to have a full factional mail server , you need to install both... :-)
