It's true, that certain version of qpopper had holes in it, but that's true for almost ALL software except DJB stuff... but anyway.... One of the main reasons for cucipops popularity over qpopper is the fact that by DEFAULT qpopper will copy the ENTIRE mailbox before it's POP'ed. This can lead to some chunking and can be a big waste of CPU/MEM/HD... cucipop does _NOT_ do this by default, and qpopper can be configured NOT to do this as well. _ __ _____ __ _________ ______________ /_______ ___ ____ /______ John Gonzalez/Net.Tech __ __ \ __ \ __/_ __ `__ \/ __ /_ ___/ MDC Computers/netMDC! _ / / / `__/ /_ / / / / / / /_/ / / /__ (505)437-7600/fax-437-3052 /_/ /_/\___/\__/ /_/ /_/ /_/\__,_/ \___/ http://www.netmdc.com [---------------------------------------------[system info]-----------] 5:30pm up 86 days, 27 min, 4 users, load average: 0.28, 1.28, 1.47 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
