Or is there > some other port/package known to work well? We use pop3d here on our machine. It's more stable than popper in the person-who-installed-it's opinion (which wasn't me). We're having some odd problems with popper on the university Suns which incline me to lean away from it (no pun intended). poppassd allows password changes from the client (ie Eudora) and can be added to any pop daemon.
