I'm quite satisfied with solid-pop3d ( http://solidpop3d.pld.org.pl/ ).

It handles both Mailbox and Maildir formats, bulletins (like qpopper),
expiration of messages, logs qpopper-like statistics. It uses far less
resources than qpopper (I have replaced qpopper with solidpop3d on a
system which "crawled" most of the time as users kept big mailboxes and
after that, system load dropped significantly).

The package is in Debian "testing" (woody) but it's easy to build it
oneself.

Hope it helps

qmail comes with a pop3 server, qmail-pop3d which is solid and
flexible.

Hello "Craig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,

I recommend courier-pop with Postfix or qmail, which give fine
performance and high flexibility.

Good POP3 server

2002-04-11 Thread Craig

Hi Fellows

Has anyone got suggestions on a good pop3 server
to use on my mail server. Something that can take
a hammering and not ipopd, been having some 
problems with it and qpopper I think has security 
issues.

Any help will be appreciated :)

Craig

Yes, not using system accounts is very good.

If you're on the qmail bandwagon like I am, you can configure qmail to
manage pop3 mailboxes really well.  I use inter7.com's qmailadmin and
vqadmin for managing my users' mailboxes.  I'm happy with this setup so
far.  Trouble free, basically.  Once you get through the not-so-good
documentation, you'll have a working system that just... works!

I´d go for cyrus, with some extra configuration you can even get rid of 
 having to have local users for every mail-account.

Title: Good pop3 server





    Hi all,


    I am looking for a good pop3 server in the woody(testing) distribution. I was going to install qpopper v4, but it runs from inetd daemon, what I think is a bad idea from the performance point of view..

    Any ideas??


    Thanks in advance
    Regards.
    Javier.
