And WAGs are definitely appreciated.

I have no idea which ipop3 daemon I'm using. Actually it's worse - I 
didn't know there was more than one. I'm using the one that comes in Red 
Hat 9. I even tried starting it with --help and --version and it ignored 
both. Tried 'man' also. How do I determine?
