I need a simple utility that can be run from a cron task to retrieve
email from a POP3 account. I used to utilize a utility called
'popclient' to do so, the syntax was something similar to below:

popclient -u username -p password -o /var/mail/localuser
pop3.server.domain

It was great, because we essentially forwarded accounts to an internal
email address. From a recent thread I grapped the URL to download what
someone said was 'popclient', but it was didfferent; it required user
interaction. It was 'popit.c', not the popclient I was looking for. I
know that the popclient program I am looking for is in the FreeBSD < 3.1
ports collection, but I no longer have any machines with the <
4.1-STABLE installed, if anyone could email me a tarball of
/usr/ports/mail/popclient if they have it I would be greatful.
