                     slirp.popper -- POP Server For Slirp


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Major changes from qpopper 2.1.4-r3:

 * Password checking has been removed.  Any password will work.
 * No syslog()'ing
 * Temporary files stored in /tmp (see OPTIONAL)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HOW TO USE:

 1. cd popper ; make
    Choose your system, or the closest match.

 2. Copy slirp.popper to an appropriate directory (probably the same 
    directory where you are running Slirp).

 3. Edit your .slirprc file and include the line:

     add exec /path/to/your/slirp.popper:110
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
              replace with the real path to slirp.popper
              (the full path, no ~username!)

    Then either restart Slirp, or telnet to 10.0.2.0 and enter the above 
    'add exec' command.

 4. On your home computer, configure your POP3 client to connect to 10.0.2.1
    You will still have to enter your username, but any password is ok.



OPTIONAL: 
 
 By default, slirp.popper stores temporary files in the /tmp directory.  
 While they are only readable by you, if for some reason you don't want 
 them in a public directory, edit popper.h, and change POP_DROP, 
 POP_TMPDROP, and POP_TMPXMIT.



IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS...

 If you have trouble compiling slirp.popper, reread README and INSTALL.  
 Don't bug the qpopper author(s) unless you are sure that it is a problem 
 unrelated to slirp.popper.  Qpopper has been compiled on a large number 
 of systems, so chances are that it will work on yours...eventually!  
 slirp.popper, on the other hand, hasn't been tested on as many systems, so 
 there may be a few problems.


Any other questions to me:

P.S. It's spelled s-l-i-r-p.p-o-p-p-e-r, but it is pronounced 
"slirp.POOPer".  Beavis would want it that way...  =)


ChangeLog:

1.0 - 1.5
 Various minor tweaks 

1.6
 Removed -DAUTH from several makefiles because it isn't used by slirp.popper
 and might fix a problem on OSF/1 (Digital UNIX) and maybe SCO.
