Reasons see other email of me. It doesn't matter in the big picture, but I believe I had negative opinion about folding it into httpd-2.0 ;) Unless someone actually makes a distribution of httpd where pop3 is built-in I don't see it "taking" off anyway. Once it is folded into httpd I'm not sure I see much more work happening on it again. The few times I had a question or a patch the pop3 list has worked fine. If it's exposure for the module why not whip up a webpage and someone make a binary with only auth and pop3 (If noone of the developers are interested in this I'm sure Gunther Knauf would build one). As far as other exposure I know Rich Bowen showed off what the pop3 module could do at one of his talks last year. -- Thomas Eibner DnsZone mod_pointer !(C) Putting the HEST in .COM
