This is an advance warning to those working with the Demon POP3 service,
particularly if you develop software using it.

We are planning two changes to the service. These might not occur at the
same time, and might not occur at all. If and when they happen, they
will not be announced. We believe that it leaves the service compliant
with all relevant standards and with our existing documentation.

(1) The POP3 server will add a separate Received: line after the Return-
Path: and before the first Received: line that an SMTP download would
see. The primary purpose of this line is to contain the envelope-to
address.

(2) The *ENV command will start generating output with more than 4
lines. Provisionally, the extra data will be:
  Line 5: IP address of the host or relay passing the message to Demon
  Line 6: the HELO argument from that host or relay
This information might not be provided on all messages.

I hope this is of help to our customers.
