I have uploaded tpop3d-1.3.0 (testing version) to

    http://www.ex-parrot.com/~chris/tpop3d/tpop3d-1.3.0.tar.gz

This version incorporates Mark's autoconf stuff and Paul's
maildir support, as well as support for a more flexible
mailbox naming strategy (`/var/spool/mail/$(domain)/$(user)')
and a new authenticator (auth_other) which talks to an
external program to support authentication. I've written a
perl module which simplifies writing external
authenticators (you override two methods in an object to
do APOP and USER/PASS authentication), but would welcome
examples from other languages. (Ruby? Scheme? etc. There
is also scripts/nasty, which is The World's Worst Shell
Script; not fit for any purpose whatsoever, and its arse
may catch fire in a low-speed collision. Whatever....)


NB! I do not regard this version as `production quality'
yet. Also, I may have screwed up some of the portability
whilst integrating support for maildir and auth_other.
Please send me bug reports, patches (as well as the
customary adulation ;) ).
