[plug] POP3 servers

[Simon Scott]

	Rather than hammering this guy, is someone going to point him to:

		1) http://www.linuxdoc.org (lots of doco, enjoy the read)
		2)
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Mail-Administrator-HOWTO.html (specific to
mail, probably has pop3 stuff)
		3) http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Mail-User-HOWTO/index.html
(from the user perspective, important to know)
		4) http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/ISP-Setup-RedHat-HOWTO.html
(looks interesting, covers dial-in, web hosting, pop3, ftp etc)
		5) http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Firewall-HOWTO.html (you'll
need to know this to protect your box from everything cept pop3)
		6) http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/index.html (if
you are using dsl to serve, this will be important)
		7) http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html (if you are
running your own domain including DNS youll need this (and a good book! :))
		8) http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/index.html
(Depending how you connect, youll wanna know how to best setup for perm
connection)


	Give those a good bashing, if applicable, play for a while, and then
youll be on a firmer footing to ask more specific questions on list.

	Above all have fun!

	Same sentiments here,

	I think too much MS bottle-feeding has made some people expect
everything
	in computing is easy (or can be done easily).

	Clinton, I suggest you read the howto's, fiddle arount like crazy,
and
	spend some time to figure out how unix really works. Then you will
know
	how to set up your POP3 server.

	If you don't have the time or inclination to do this, then thats
your
	problem.
