I configured my sendmail.cf that I can send mail from my own FreeBSD
mechine.  I can receive my mail sent from outside on the same FreeBSD
mechine by using telnet.  Then I uncomment the pop3 line in the
/etc/inetd.conf in hope that I can receive mails by using another PC
running Win95 in another office.  The POP3 line looked like this way:

pop3    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/libexec/popper
popper

(This line is too long that it may wrap on your screen.) 

The Win95 mechine keeps telling me that I cannot login this mail
server.  Where did I go wrong?
