I forked gnu-pop3d. gnu-pop3d has not been maintained/updated since
October 1999. I released around ten patches (and the mailing list offered
numerous fixes) that were never used. The only bad thing is that I wish it
wasn't restricted via the GPL.
vm-pop3d (virtualmail-pop3d) fixes a variety of little problems, adds
virtual domain support (via IP and/or USER name), adds more logging and
debugging, and has more documentation; in addition, it has a developer
mailing list and suggestions are considered. The authentication code is
being rewritten so a variety of different authentication methods/formats,
like btree(3), hash(3), mysql, LDAP, etc., can easily be implemented.
If anyone wants to discuss POP3 servers, consider using the vm-pop3d
mailing list(s) or pop-imap@??? mailing list -- because this is
getting off-topic.
