You need to get the source for popper.  I have it running locally if you are 
interested.  We have MacIntoshs using Mac Eudora to read email from the bsd 
box.  Popper was printing a message on the console whenever someone pop3 into 
the system (every 5 minutes for each mac).  I commented out the lines that 
displayed the message.  Seems to work ok otherwise.


ps:  pop3 is at 110   pop2 was at 109.

try  telnet ashley.business.uwo.ca 110    as a test.   'quit' to exit.
