From RFC1939 section 4: "Once the TCP connection has been opened by a
POP3 client, the POP3 server issues a one line greeting. This can be any
positive response. An example might be: S: +OK POP3 server ready"
So a change to the POP3 server wasn't necessary. It might be nice for
consistency, but that's all.
Also, the only people connecting to your POP3 server should be people who
you have authorized to; anyone else is trespassing. So unless your users
have mail clients that retrieve information from the POP3 greeting (and I'm
not aware of any that do), this shouldn't be an issue.
