Bijan, Joey & Steve,
There are many of us who must use pop3-from-the-ISP, since they
block port 25, and we aren't lucky enough to be able to run private
mail servers at work, University or co-lo.
And *even if I did run my own mail server*, all of the virus/spam-
filled packets would *still* have to be sent down to me.
