This is a very simplistic POP-Server written in Perl that returns always the same mail. It is quite useful when you change the address of your POP-Server and you want to tell everybody who is still using the old server to switch to the new one. The script will keep track of the users who got the change mail already and won't give it to them again. There aren't any options or anything, just look at the code and change it to suite you. Because it is written in perl and started from inetd this script has a rather high overhead, it is not suitable for a real long term use. Ideally it is run only for a few days after the switch to the new server, consult the log file to find out how many users are still using the old server.

The script is really simple, it doesn't do any authenticating and not much error checking. Use it at your own risk!
