hi ya richard

good... and yes... ftp can work with /etc/ftpaccess tooo
along with its other ftp config files.. 

now, if ya up to it, convert from port 110 ( insecure pop3 ) to
secure pop3s  
	/etc/xinetd.conf/ipop3s
	disable = no
and change the ipop3s: entry too in hosts.allow

and change your pop client..

have fun
