  This probably should be crossposted to comp.mail.sendmail.flame (:-)), but
York is trying very hard to provide e-mail to a large community which is
**not** early-adopters, and so tend to regard sendmail's vagarities as the
actions of a **formally erronious** mail program.  That we have to use nfs
mounts and hacked sendmails is a positive disadvantage to us.
  We're a zmailer-and-pop site, and would prefer never to see another
copy of sendmail again.  Thus the question about proper NeXT pop clients.
