POP has a few other advantages over SMTP.  Firstly, you don't have to run an
SMTP server (which is a lot harder to code than a POP client).  Secondly,
you don't need to hang around waiting until the other end gets around to
delivering all your mail.  And although it's not relevant to Demon users,
you can't receive SMTP mail if your IP address is dynamically allocated.
