I would like to put the pop mail server up on a series of AT&T 6386 boxes running SysV, Release 4.0. Source code will require modifications to get around the differences between BSD and AT&T flavored UNIXes. Rather than reinvent the wheel, has anyone already done this, or is there source code out there that is closer to 4.0? All I've found is code modified for some HP processors. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I've ported popper v1.831 to SVR4. The major changes were the normal
BSD vs. System V things like <strings.h>/<string.h>,
<sys/file.h>/<fcntl.h>, and so forth. There were also some
file-locking issues (fcntl vs. flock), the shadow password file, and
so forth.
If there is sufficient interest I will see about putting my port up
for anonymous FTP somewhere (mudos, unfortunately, is not on the
Internet). Perhaps when I get more time I will try to package up a
set of patches and send them off to the UCB popper development team,
although I'm unsure whether popper is still in active development.

Perhaps when I get more time I will try to package up a I posted the first message through a friend's account so no name got attached to it. Sorry. I would be most interested in getting your hacked code since I am supposed to have it running for a demo on Monday.

Okay. I have uploaded my SVR4 port of popper v1.831beta to
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/pub/popper/popper-1.831beta-svr4.tar.Z. Let me
know if you have any problems or comments.
