I have to give you an ACK, but see more below.

You have a point here.
But i have a Problem with _any_ POP-Connector, because I've seen too
much trouble with all of them (that i have tried).

I prefer another solution; it's a pity very few providers do it.

The Provider holds the MX, does AV-Filtering and SPAM Reduction with a
Spam filter and DNS-Blacklists - no great thing until here...
But then the Mails do not get pushed to POP-Boxes - they're queued
into a SMTP - Queue and the Customer's Exchange (or other Mailserver)
can dequeue them via SMTP (only authenticated!).

That's what I call service....

Just my 2 Cent...

CU, Olaf
