Appendix 3

     2.2.1.1 Sendmail(for delivering mail)
     2.2.1.2 Fetchmail(for fetching mail from remote servers)
     2.2.1.3 Popper(for giving the pop service to our local hosts)

2.2.1.3 Popper

     Now that we installed a server to send our mails properly(sendmail), fetching our mails properly(fetchmail) we need to have a pop server to give our clients necessary service to fetch their mails from the local pop server on maple. We used qpopper-2.53 for this purpose. It's available on the CD-ROM or from the sites: ftp.freebsd.org, www.freebsd.org. Get the packages and install it using pkg_add. Ofcourse if you prefer you can download the source from the above sites and compile it yourself.
The only thing you need to do after installing the package is to edit the
/etc/inetd.conf with an editor you are most familiar with and rerun inted:

maple# vi /etc/inetd.conf
# add the below line:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper
maple# ps waux | grep inetd | grep -v grep
root 145 0.0 1.8 208 552 ?? Is 12:21PM 0:00.09 inetd
maple# kill -1 145
Now let's try to see whether it's running or not:

maple@junan:/usr/share/dict{1034}% telnet maple 110
Trying 192.168.0.3...
Connected to maple.ant.yatsushiro-nct.ac.jp.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version 2.53) at maple.ant.yatsushiro-nct.ac.jp starting. <385.919140
945@maple.ant.yatsushiro-nct.ac.jp>
quit
+OK Pop server at maple.ant.yatsushiro-nct.ac.jp signing off.
Connection closed by foreign host.
maple@junan:/usr/share/dict{1035}%

It seems like working. You can give some try with the local hosts you got.
