[comp.sys.hp] POP of mh6.7 and HP 9000/840

Hi!

We have Macs and we have HP 9000's.  I would like to get TechMail (a
mail front end for the Macs) running, but it needs POP on the unix
side.  Actually, the README in the TechMail distribution says
"...The post office server is implemented using the programs included in
the Rand MH 6.6 distribution...", but for now I assume popd would be
enough.

I tried another POP package, but it had a different command set:  you
should log in saying "helo user passwd", but TechMail says first
"user <user>", then "pass <password>".

Has somebody ported pop/mh-6.7 to HP machines, preferably the 9000/800
series?  If not, it would be great if somebody could take the time to
do that!  I am pretty sure there are other sites besides us that could
put it to use.

Peter Marvit <marvit%hplpm.hpl.hp.com@hplb.hpl.hp.COM> has provided a
configuration file to the mh6.7 package, but he said he had not done
anything with the POP part.
