MikeL's FreeBSD howto - popper

This is basically a checklist of how to make popper work. The intent is not to cover everything in detail, merely to point you to each of the tasks that must be performed.

Popper is the program that allows client email programs to fetch their email from this server -- the old way; via POP3. I've not messed with IMAP, so don't even ask.

First time only

Get and build popper per readme/faq. On FreeBSD simply:
```
] cd /usr/ports/mail/popper
] make
```
As superuser, install popper per readme/faq.
```
] make install
```

As superuser, edit /etc/inetd.conf:
Comment in the 'pop3' line:

pop3	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/local/libexec/popper	popper

Restart inetd:
Do a ps -ax and find 'inetd', then do a 'kill -HUP ###' that pid.
