As per comments in /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/mail-mta/qmail/files/run-qmailpop3d it suggest I lodge a bug if I have a good reason for changing this file on a production system. Well I have changed this file to use a sslserver (from sys-apps/ucspi-ssl) so that pop can be delivered over ssl. Attached is the patch required to make this work.
Created attachment 80577 [details, diff] qmail-patch for sslserver support
On initial looks, i'm going to say that I don't like this patch. 110/tcp needs to provide POP3, and USE=ssl allows STARTTLS over that. Your patch would take away the regular 110/tcp service, and only provide 995/tcp POP3S. Have a variant named 'pop3ds' that inherit conf-pop3d, and qmail-pop3d/run to provide a seperate service.

Was thinking it was just smtp. Maybe there is a similar command. > Your patch would take away the regular 110/tcp service, and only provide > 995/tcp POP3S. > Have a variant named 'pop3ds' that inherit conf-pop3d, and qmail-pop3d/run to > provide a seperate service. A separate server sounds like a better option. Thanks Robin.
Robin - are you interested in a patch to the ebuild that provides this additional pop3s service?
url contains a moderatly good run script.
