Hi Philip,
You really should check out cucipop if this causes you head-aches. It's
awfully written code, but we moved to cucipop from qpopper, servicing
80,000 mailbox customers, for the following reasons:
1) cucipop has options to purge mail "left on the server" after a
specified period of time.
2) cucipop has options to bugger X-UIDL. This means customers keep
dowloading the messages they've left. This means they either call us
and we explain, or they turn the stupid !$%@$% feature off.
3) cucipop doesn't use .username.pop files, which means it reduces disk
I/O enormously.
4) cucipop's source, while bozoic, certainly produces very tight code.
Anyway, this is the Exim mailing list, right? :-)
Ciao,
Sheldon.
