akpop3d - secure and small POP3 daemon

  akpop3d is a POP3 daemon aimed to be small and secure. akpop3d is invoked
  stand-alone. All POP3 features except APOP (which is never going to be
  implemented) are implemented.

  There is support for POP3-over-SSL. Copy your RSA key into the directory
  /etc/akpop3d and name it "key.pem" (without quotes), then copy your
  certificate into the same directory and name it "cert.pem" (without quotes,
  again).

Design notes:
  For design notes, please see file design.txt.
