Hi Why not make an extension to Linux-email servers, that allows only modified kmail etc. to connect there, but keep the compatibility in kmail etc. to work with standard popX? This way no M$ could connect to "our" networks :-) Jaska. Viestissä Perjantai 7. Syyskuuta 2001 02:16, David Grove kirjoitti:

this may sound stupid, but how are they going to keep other pop clients like kmail, netscape, eudora, pine, etc. from connecting to thier servers? I run a mail server for an isp and the pop server does not distinguish what type of client is accessing it from anything i can tell. maybe if they plan on using the microsooft pop server and its somehow hacked up to only allow ms clients to connect ot it, but i cant imagine 1/2 million people hitting a ms server of any type and it surviving for long.
