Excerpts from mail: (14-Aug-97) Re: *POP* goes the mail.. by Steinar Bang
> I've had varying success with using movemail compiled with POP.

FYI, the best POP solution I've seen is one that uses a program called
fetchmail to fetch the e-mail via POP and then feeds it via SMTP to your
localhost at port 25. It makes POP virtually invisible, especially if you
have your fetchmail daemon checking your POP server every 5 minutes or so.
Fetchmail supports a dizzying array of protocols: POP2, POP3, RPOP, APOP,
KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTP ETRN. More info can be found at
<http://locke.ccil.org/~esr/fetchmail/>. It's truly an elegant solution and
definitely cooler than movemail.

Later,
