I've been trying to set up some PCs in our department so professors who are "PC-bound" can have E-mail. On the PC side, I'm using SU PCP-IP 3.104 (with MH 3.101). As a pop server, we have a couple of choices: a Vax 11/780 (BSD 4.3), a Sun 3/60 (SunOS 4.0.3), or a Sparcstation I (4.0.3c). I pulled popd out of mh-6.6, and compiled it on the Vax. It compiled fine, but I get a bus error and it dumps core when executing. There was a popd program already on the 3/60. I don't know where we got it from, but the source says it implements the POP2 protocol as described in RFC937. When I run MH from the PC, I get a 'user:' prompt, and I type in a valid userid. It then reports 'Connection with pop server not created.' Any other command says that I have to login with USER first. But if I give it the user command, it prompts for and accepts a login, then I get about a page and a half of what looks like ethernet statistics (starting with "connection closed by foreign host **** TASKING status ****"), and the machine locks up. I was hoping someone out there could offer some help before I have to start diving into the code. I don't know if it matters or not, but on both machines I am running POP in "naive" mode (each PC user has a Unix login). I've set up the pop login and edited the rc.local and services files according to the documentation with mh-6.6. Also, the rest of the SU package (lpr, telnet, etc.) runs fine. Please respond by email, and if there's enough interest I'll post a summary.
