Personally I'd highly reccomend using cucipop instead of qpopper; it doesn't have all of the security issues that qpopper does, and it runs standalone, (you don't use inetd). It runs much faster, (in my experience anyhow), under higher loads. I have setup many mail servers now, some with >20000 users all using cucipop - works much better than qpopper. Just install cucipop from the ports collection, and start it with the following command: /usr/libexec/cucipop -Y Add a similar line to your /etc/rc.local file, or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/pop3.sh file to make cucipop run when the system is booted up. > Hello all. > I'm in the process of learning more about FreeBSD.
