Anyway, I seriously suggest you use qpopper instead. There is at least
one very good reason: last time I checked, in.pop3d didn't log the
erroneous passwords, so a cracker could use it to try typical passwords
(even if you have shadow).
Package: qpopper
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: mail
Installed-Size: 110
Maintainer: Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>

Description: Enhanced Post Office Protocol server (POP3).
This is The Qualcomm enhanced version of the Post Office Protocol Daemon
(POP3 daemon), based on the latest BSD version. The QualComm popper has
some extensions to the normal pop3 daemon, such as UIDL and bulletin
support.
