Hi Everyone,

>>>My original question was:

We are upgrading our Alpha 1000 4/266 to DU4.0b (so far so good). Next we
intend to upgrade to Berkeley Sendmail 8.8.6.

My question is this. I understand that there is a newer version of qpopper
(2.3) also available. I'm running 2.1.4-R4-b5a currently. Does anyone
know of any problems with version 2.3 that I should be aware of? We've
tested 2.3 on another machine and it looks like it will solve a problem
we've been plagued with so I'd really like to use it.

>>>My thanks to the following for their quick responses:

John P. Speno" <speno_at_swarthmore.edu>
Carlos A M dos Santos <casantos_at_cpmet.ufpel.tche.br>
Leonardo Mosquera <lmosquer_at_col1.telecom.com.co>

The answer from them is that qpopper 2.3 seems to run fine on DU 4.0b. I
might add that our testing shows that this version in combination with DU
4.0b seems to solve a problem we had with users who accidentally inserted a
space in their return addresses. Under DU 4.0a and qpopper 2.1.4 we found
that the space would corrupt the "from" line of the recipients mail file.
The new version handles the space without a problem. We tested this
*before* our upgrade to Sendmail 8.8.6 so we're pretty certain it was the
qpopper upgrade which provided the fix.
