Re: [tpop3d-discuss] STATUS: header

[Ben Schumacher]

I certainly don't intend to speak for Chris on this issue, but this may 
be difficult. As tpop3d uses MMAP to transfer data from a mail message 
from the file system to the socket, it is probably not easy to modify 
the content of the message during this transition. Doing this is 
incredibly efficient, and is part of the reason that tpop3d is one of 
the fastest POP3 servers that I've ever used.

While POP3 clients are having problems as a result of the lack of a 
status header? What are they relying on the status header for?

It is possible (its just code, after all) to modify this behavior, but 
you would probably sacrifice speed in doing so. I'm sure this could be 
included as an optional feature, if you felt like writing the code and 
contributing it back to the project.

Hope this helps,

bs.
