I'm cleaning out the last vestiges of KPOP support (which already doesn't
work), and I've found a few extra things. In the interests of trying to
remove the giant maze of #ifdefs that the POP code currently is, I'm
wondering about:
- RPOP (POP from a local reserved port). I asked about this before, and
no on objected.
- APOP. Do people still use this? CRAM-MD5 via SASL is better, and I'm
not seeing newer POP clients which claim to support APOP. I think the
world has moved on here.
- MPOP. Not even sure _what_ this is.
- NNTP. Yes, there is some weird bboards support which talks via NNTP.
It complicates the code greatly, and I wonder if anyone still uses it.
Can we ditch it?
BTW, when going through the nmh code, I found the -proxy switch, which
I think does what Michael Richardson asked about (runs a command and lets
you talk to that to speak POP). Well, it might not be exactly what he
wanted, but it's probably a good start.
