Aha! You're set up a bit more elaborately than I need to be, but you gave me the crucial missing piece:
> /usr/sbin/popper 212.201.18.80:995 -f /etc/QPopper/alt_popper.conf You have to *specify* port 995 on the command line. That did the trick Thanks so much! (Note to Qualcomm folks: this is dumb. Maybe in a future release specifying alternate-port in the config will automatically open the alternate port? At least drop a note in the manual explaining this is necessary when not running from inetd.) So I'm all set, and it works just about exactly how I want it to. (Eudora and Outlook Express have no problems, Mozilla can't hack it but I think that's a Mozilla bug). Now, I just have three minor questions and I'll quit bugging y'all: 1) How do I tell it to write a PID file to a particular directory? Or write one anywhere, for that matter? 2) Is there a way to specify just the port on the command line, not the IP address? This isn't a big deal, just curious. 3) What SSL-aware POP3 clients are out there? Right now I have Eudora 5, Outlook Express 5, and Mozilla as of 0.9.4. Anyone know of any others?
