 n>> If POP3 is needed for the board to send out -
 LT> pop3 is inbound
 LT> smtp is outbound

I know that (I deal with POP3/SMTP all day every day) I confused my own words
I think. I wasn't sure if the boards use POP3 to comminicate to each other or
if it was just a convenience thing so i can check my mail with thunderbird,
etc... If that's the case then i don't even want it running - more overhead,
more open ports.

For example, if I send an email to a user and it's forwardedto his gmail
account and he emails me back..  I just dont want to break anything. :)
