I some time ago also switched from IUPOP3 to TCPIP services, because it
serves the SSL port, and our domain requests that for outside connections.
I know one could tunnel SSL POP (using e.g. STUNNEL, which I do for IMAP
in my aging TCPIP 5.3), but this has the ugly effect of being one
connection at a time (and others get connection timeout and have to retry).

Although TCPIP services POP implementation seems to be based on IUPOP3,
is there a newer IUPOP3 implementation serving the SSL port ?
