why all the cyrus stuff? I thought cyrus was a completely different, more complex, pop-n-imap server.

hi ...
Cyrus SASL API. It can be used on the client or server side to provide authentication. You can search for more info at http://rpmfind.net/

I dunno that this all qualifies as "plain jane". But thanks for the suggestion.

I have used qpopper in my day and it was a good plain jane pop server.

If I only need pop3, isn't dovecot overkill?
its what centos ships with, along with Cyrus. Dovecot is lightyears simpler than Cyrus. Yes, Dovecot supports imap, but you don't have to enable that.

Thanks all for the feedback. qpopper and tpop3d are more in line with what I need, but in the interest of sticking with an RPM package, and one that's supported upstream, I went with Dovecot.
One more question while I'm on the subject of e-mail: is there a pop-before-smtp package, or should I do I need to grab it from sourceforge?
Thanks, Miark

---- I think that pop before smtp has lost some of it's lustre in favor of simply installing authenticated sending using encrypted authentication, configuration being much simpler than it used to be but of course, depends upon whichever smtp server you are using.
