POP3 proxy server for RH Linux

Hello,

I am trying to write a pop3 mail checker. I wanted to know
if there is a
program within the RH package that could help me test a mail
checker .

I would want to set the incoming mail server to something
like 127.0.0.1 in
order to do some testing.

If no such software is there within the RH package please
tell me which
software is best suited for the purpose.

Also let me know if there is an alternate way of testing a
mail checker.

TIA.

What I mean is I will enter 127.0.0.1 as the incoming pop3 server in the
pop checker and the pop3 server (local) will allow testing.

I downloaded qpopper4.0.5.tar.gz. Could this help me?

I think what I actually need is a pop3 server not a proxy server :o)

You want the "imap" package. Either get it from CD 2, or better yet:

$ up2date imap

I have installed the package. How can I add a local account?

Need a little spoon feeding...

Any unix account has a pop3 account.

I just heard that for uid's below 100 there is no pop3
account :(

Do you know how I can enable pop3 for accounts like
root@localhost.localdomain ?

TIA.

Use the mail aliases to forward root's mail to a user account.

For sendmail use "man aliases" and /etc/aliases for info. Not sure about
postfix, exim, etc.

Ok, redirection is fine. But can I access it via pop3?

TIA.
