Any pros and cons for using pop3d rather than popper? I seem to have both installed on my box (but neither running yet).
Well popper lets you use apop, which encrypts mail passwords and stores them in a database. It also allows you to have a different mail and login password. This can be important since most user's popmail passwords are their login passwords.
The drawback is netscape dosn't support apop, so you need to use a mail client that does, I use Xfmail.
I have run both together. Running pop3d on port 110 for netscape users, and assigning qpopper to port 109, for apop users. It works OK that way.
