I am attempting to install MH-6.6 using a Sun 4 (running SunOS 4.0.3) 
as a POP server, and an HP 9000/360 (running HP-UX 6.5) as a POP client.
With a small amount of hacking, I was able to get MH compiled and installed
on the Sun.  It took a bit more hacking to get MH compiled on the HP, and
even then, I never got the POP subdirectory compiled.  I don't think this
matters though, because the HP is not a POP server.  After getting MH
more or less installed on both the Sun and HP, the following problems
occurred.

The first problem was whenever I tried to use popwrd(8) to generate a 
password for a POP subscriber on the Sun, I got a segmentation fault.  To 
get around this problem, I reconfigured MH with the RPOP option, so remote 
subscribers can read mail without supplying a password.  Then, I got an
error on the HP that says:
	inc: -ERR unknown command: "rpop"

If anyone actually has POP working on their system, I would appreciate any 
helpful suggestions you could offer.  Please e-mail responses to:

Or call (919) 991-7798.

Thanks in advance.
