[mpop-users] CAPA woes

[Tim Small <tim@...14...>]

Hello,

As far as I can tell, mpop support for servers which don't support the 
CAPA command isn't working (see below).  nmap says that it thinks this 
particular pop3 server is running qmail pop3d...  It is, however, quite 
possible that I'm doing something wrong, as I haven't used mpop before.

Thanks,

Tim.
