A pop3 server is a different thing from MTA. While we have one specific package that does both (xmail), there are a number of MTAs and a number of pop3 server. Exim is the default on Debian. It is well supported and should be trivial to set up for such a basic setup. dovecot is a relatively straight-forward server for pop3 and imap. There are a number of pop3-only servers (e.g. qpopper). -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
