Look at
ftp.cc.berkeley.edu:pub/popper/popper-1.831beta.tar.Z

Despite the name, this is no longer "beta" software--it's the
final release, as explained in the companion README.release file.

It works fine under 2.x (remember to add -bsd to CFLAGS in the
Makefile)--I haven't tried compiling under the heinous/vile 3.0.
We made some minor changes locally (e.g. bailing out if
/etc/nologin exists), but it's certainly usable out-of-the-box.

+ niload into services:
pop-3	110/tcp	pop3

+ add to /etc/inetd.conf:
pop3	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/your/path/to/popper	popper

+ add to /etc/syslog.conf:
local0.notice;local0.debug			/your/path/to/logfile

+ touch that file

+ send SIGHUPs to both syslogd and inetd (or reboot)

Still eagerly awaiting 3.1.  :-)
