This is popper version 1.831beta with some simple modifications to allow it to
compile under Linux.  I also added support for shadow passwords and the MMDF
mail system.  If anything breaks, don't complain to the authors--it's my fault.

Since some of the resolver code changed in libc-4.6.27, it probably won't
compile using older libs (I used libc-4.6.27 with gcc-2.6.3).  It shouldn't be
too difficult to fix if you want to have a go at it, tho.

I included the diffs for my changes against the original sources, which can be
had at ftp.cc.berkeley.edu in /pub.  You should just be able to type `make', but
most people will want to tweak the CFLAGS in the Makefile, since mine are a
little indulgent.  If it compiles with no errors, type `make install' to put
things in their place.

After everything is where it should be, you will want to add a couple of lines
to the /etc/inetd.conf file:

pop-2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.popper
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.popper

...  and to the /etc/services file (if they aren't already there):

pop-2	109/tcp
pop-3	110/tcp

... and to the syslog.conf:

local0.notice;local0.debug	/usr/adm/POPlog

Then kill and restart the syslogd and send the inetd a HUP signal, like so:

kill -HUP `ps ax| fgrep inetd| fgrep -v fgrep |cut -d\  -f1`

(or just type `ps', look for the PID, and type `kill -HUP <PID#>' ;-).

and you're ready to go.
