Thoughts on POP

Folks,

Cornell Information Technologies is planning to scale its POP service up
to include, potentially, the whole campus. We're trying to migrate folks
away from mainframe-based mail and toward the more distributed model. Our
plans currently include a SPARCStation 2 w/64mb RAM and 2.6gb disk
dedicated to POP service.

We're curious about what other places are doing, particularly places 
that are putting heavy emphasis on POP and other distributed solutions
over timesharing solutions.

Among the questions I'm interested in seeing answered are:

1] What sort of hardware base have you given POP?
2] What are the common support issues/problems?
3] How widespread is POP-based mail (vs. mainframe)?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Shappe
