Hi. I'm looking for anyone who has gotten a popd (POP3) compiled and working under FreeBSD 2.0. I've tried both
POPPER and POPD supplied with MH. When I run popper, it always exits with a return code of 255, usually because
it "can't get the address and/or socket of the client". MHs popd either exits with an error code, or runs, but sets the
mailbox to approximately 400MB (of junk) when a client disconnects, and it tries to delete the mail.

If anyone could uuencode me their working binary, or send me a good set of sources (and, in the case of MH, their
config file), I'd greatly appreciate it.
