Not only that, the TCP/UDP modes lagged my server down tremendeously, could
perhaps have been something with the firewall, but I didn't specify any
external IPs, so I don't see how that could affect it at all. The stream
worked, but the unix socket wouldn't work at all. So I think I will
definitely run a script like poprelayd instead of using whoson.

I'll try that tonight if I remember.

It would be great if you could indeed print out the IP address in the
authentication log messages, since that would simplify usage of
POP-Before-SMTP scripts among other things. If that'll change in the next
release of popa3d, then I'm switching back. *lick*
