it will work on redhat and suse. just get the source from http://www.openwall.com/popa3d/ and compile and install it. Its GPL software just like most other linux software. The whole BSD thing is just that OpenBSD is going to include it in their 3.0 distribution and if its not secure they wouldnt include it. On Fri, 21 Dec 2001 andrei@easynet.co.uk wrote:

Thanks for the info...

What other(s) good secure could be recommended, as this seems to BSD based & I need it to run on Suse7.3 or RH 7.2 distro's.

BSD is not in my company to use.

I am looking for a secure pop3 server but have no idea which pop3 server has a good secure track record.

So any advice would be greatly received..

Even if it were BSD license how would that affect you? In fact the BSD license gives end users even more freedom/"protection" then the GPL, the GPL is designed to protect programmers (i.e. people don't steal their code), whereas the BSD protects end users more (here, use the code, or take the code and modify/sell it, whatever, just leave the notice on it). Both have their place. If you're gonna bash licenses at least get a clue first. Kurt Seifried, kurt@seifried.org A15B BEE5 B391 B9AD B0EF AEB0 AD63 0B4E AD56 E574 http://www.seifried.org/security/
