sendmail only sends and receives emails from other sendmail ( or exim or
postfix )  == MTA

users use mozilla/netscape/internetexplorer/eudora to read emails
from the pop server  ( aka MUA )
	( use in.pop3 and allow only the ip# of your local lan )

if security is an issue, use "secure pop3" or "secure imap"
