Thanks Greg. I wonder why RT haven't implemented the TOP
command.
On another point, I was wondering how to write a POP proxy
server.
Copying some of RT's code, I tried the following:
pop-port: open/lines join tcp://: 110
forever [
connection-port: first pop-port
until [
wait connection-port
error? try [print first connection-port]
]
close connection-port
]
close pop-port
which should echo every thing sent to port 110, but when I
do this from another console session:
open pop://me:[password--127--0--0--1]
I get nothing echo'd back.

The client expects a hello message from the POP3 server. You may
wish to look at the RFC for POP3 (I don't have the number at
hand), or maybe just try connecting to a real server and see what
it does.
Regards,
Gabriele.

Hi Gabriele,
I've sort of got it going now. Just sent back a "+OK" to
say I was waiting for authentication.
Now to finish writing my mini pop server :)
