Re: RR DNS and spam
Just like that. POP finally found a use, though. Historical note, I don't think it was dialin that got POP going, it was client server computing and PC's that made POP attractive. I remember trying to get users with unix workstations to use POP. We had to use a program called snarfmail. Snarfmail was a pop client that put mail in /usr/spool/mail, as though it had been received by sendmail, where Unix mail and mh could pick it up. --Dean On Fri, 4 Apr 2003, Markus Stumpf wrote: > On Fri, Apr 04, 2003 at 04:06:44PM -0500, Dean Anderson wrote: > > Ah, you mean RFC 2476. 2476 is a _proposed_ standard.
