POP access fails for Mac's

Hi Dave,

I've done some extensive testing and can retrieved mail and send mail from
Netscape mailers on Winblows machines using POP3.  (no additions to
../qmail/users required)  However I can't seem to get my Mac (running OSX)
able to send and receive mail using the identical accounts that are
succesfull from windows.  Does the Mac mail program use a different
authentication?  All test systems are on a local lan.  (I have been
successful in the past using the Mac mailer on my old mail server which
ran sendmail.)

Thanks for your help.
