I have a POP3 server at my isp, and an account set up on it.

I also made the popper port without difficulty.

However, there is no documentation with popper other than the man page,
which says:

	(The official port number
       specified in RFC 1081 for POP version 3 is port 110.  How-
       ever,  some  POP3 clients attempt to contact the server at
       port 109, the POP version 2 port.  Unless you are  running
       both  POP2  and  POP3  servers, you can simply define both
       ports for use by the POP3 server.  This  is  explained  in
       the  installation instructions later on.)

I want to know how much later these installation instructions will be
coming along, because they are not on the manpage, nor anywhere that I can
find them.

I have all of my outgoing mail going into /var/spool/mqueue, and my
sendmail flags are ``-bd -odq'', so I can send my mail in one batch with
``sendmail -q''. Now I just need to get popper to nab my mail from my POP3
account and drop it into /usr/home/mydir. Is this not what popper does?

I would sincerely appreciate any help or direction toward a website or
other source of documentation. Thanks in advance.
