    Hi,

    Description : tpop3d is a fast, extensible, secure UNIX POP3 server

    tpop3d is yet another POP3 server. It is intended to be fast,
    extensible, and secure. Supported authentication mechanisms: pam,
    passwd, mysql, ldap, perl, external program. tpop3d supports
    POP-before-SMTP, DRAC, WHOSON, BSD-format mailspools with index caching
    and Maildir.

    I can currently count at least these servers than can support pop3
    courier-pop
    dovecot-pop3d
    ipopd
    libroxen-pop3
    qpopper
    solid-pop3d
    teapop
    xmail
    Is there any reason why tpop3d should be better than any of those? And
    if so, which of these servers can we drop IYO? Please don't understand
    me wrong, but we already have an incredible amount of software in
    Debian. If I look at the list of orphaned packages, or at the list of long-standing RC-bugs (currently 167 in sarge, much more in sid), than
    it seems sometimes to me that we have too many than too less packages.

    Please don't take this personal. It's not meant as an vote about your
    package, but more like a general remark that's also valid for this
    package.



    Cheers,
    Andi
