The consensus seems to be to use pop-2 although I am going to have
a look at 'popper'. pop-2 is working for me right now although
I have noticed our sendmail going into race conditions a few times..??

also mentioned pop servers are on the lifeline disks. But alas
I do not have access to those.
Again, thanks to all who responded even if I forgot to mention
