I have had pretty poor luck with SMTPOP12. The only way I was able to
get it to connect was using NETDIAL that came with Bobcat modifying
it to call SMTPOP12 after connecting. That was successful, but no
mail was downloaded. I have almost given up using it, but maybe you
can help me get it working. I also don't understand what you posted
about glue headers. I know I had to setup a user gateway for outgoing
mail to make it compatible with Arachne, but beyond that I am not
too familiar with this "glue" header requirement. I would appreciate
any help you can offer.

I wish the buck stopped here. I could use a few.
