This article is being re-posted because my site lost news several days
last week due to hardware problems.  Please re-post any responses.
I apologize for any inconvenience this re-posting may cause.

I am attempting to install MH-6.6 using a Sun 4 (running SunOS 4.0.3) 
as a POP service host, and an HP 9000/360 (running HP-UX 6.5) as a POP client.
Both systems use sendmail/smtp as the message transport system.  I was able 
to compile and install MH on the Sun.  It took some source modifications
to compile MH on the HP, and even then, I wasn't able to get the POP 
subdirectory compiled.  I don't think this matters though, because the HP 
is not a POP service host.  I configured both machines with the DPOP and 
RPOP options.  After getting MH more or less installed on both machines, 
I created a POP database on the Sun to allow me to read mail from my HP 
without supplying a password.  When I attempted to incorporate new mail into 
my mailbox, I got the following error messages.

On the HP:
	bnrxyz <lnb> inc
	inc: -ERR unknown command: "rpop"

On the Sun (running /etc/popd): 
	bnrunix <pop> [6] servicing bnrxyz/1021
	[7] ---> +OK bnrunix RPOP server ready (Comments to: PostMaster@bnrunix)
	[7] <--- USER lnb
	
	[7] ---> +OK password required for lnb
	[7] <--- RPOP lnb
	
	[7] ---> -ERR unknown command: "rpop"
	[7] <--- QUIT
	
	[7] ---> +OK(null)

If anyone has POP working on a similar system, I would appreciate any helpful 
suggestions you could offer.  Please e-mail responses to:

Or call (919) 991-7798.

Thanks in advance.
