GNU pop3d

GNU pop3d's goal is to provide a small, fast, efficient, free POP3 server fully compliant with RFCs.

The POP3 implementation from the University of Washington is too big and slow, as it loads the entire mailspool file into memory before working.

Cubic Circle's cucipop almost made this unnecessary, but it is not free software (either in terms of free beer or free speech), and violates RFCs too often (try `grep RFC *.[ch]` in the cucipop source directory).

What is new in this release:

• Syslog has been changed to avoid hanging when debugging.
• Some login methods have been fixed.
• Multiple instances not used after some time are fixed.
• Support for detection of Atom processors has been added, and there is more support for service installation (/etc/init).

What is new in version 0.9.12:

• Possible double free of the mailbox name variable in special error situations e.g at two simultaneous logins to the same mailbox
• config.guess and config.sub missing from the distribution
• Added a start message to the syslog
