I have compiled a pop3 daemon for netbsd.

It is the UCB v1.83beta pop3 server.


It looks in /var/mail for the mailboxes.  I have tried the server with Eudora 
for MacIntosh and some ms-dos pop3 clients.  It appears to work.

I have tarred the binary and man page and put in on sms.business.uwo.ca in the 
/pub directory.

I have crypt (security distribution) installed on my machine.

Note:  Make sure you add pop3 to both services and inetd.conf


The server is actually running at  ashley.business.uwo.ca 110
