Introduction
============
SMTP_POP is derived from a public domain program written by Ian Blenke it
has been modified to incorporate a very basic POP3 faker to enable Pegasus mail
to be used on dial up and other TCP/IP Internet accounts when no access to
a 'real' POP3 Server is available (ie basic demon dialup) and also to transfer
any incoming SMTP messages into the pegasus incoming mail folder in a form
it understands.
SMTP_POP will attempt to autoload Pegasus if they live in they same
directory.
Suggestions For Use
===================
1. Set Winsock to NOT dial on demand
2. Load SMTP_POP this will load WINSOCK.DLL and Pegasus
3. Write any mails (make sure Pegasus is set up to Queue mail)
4. When mails are written Use winsock to dial your IP
5. Once connected Select Pegasus 'Send all Queued mail"
6. Wait for any mail connections to your machine to end.
7. Logout
Files involved
==============
wsmtpsrv.ini
------------
This consists of entries under a section marked [winSMTPsrv]
Debug=2 ; Sets debug level - best left at 2
Mail=<Pegasus Incoming Mail Path> ; eg: c:\pmail\mail
Host=<Your fully qualified host name> ; eg: blob.demon.co.uk
pmail.ini
---------
When Pegasus is first run (with no pmail.cfg file) it will ask for a home
mail path this should be set to the same as Mail= in wsmtpsrv.ini

Known Bugs
==========
Occasionally "An error has ocurred in your Application" when getting an
SMTP connection from the outside world. IGNORE usually fixes this.
No handling for any other POP3 commands apart from USER, PASS & QUIT
(So don't use Pegasus 'check host for new mail")
