#  and sending (SMTP) email.

#  To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
#  properties prior to making any calls that communicate with
#  a POP3 server:
#  The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
#  IP address:
$mailman.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"

#  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
#  of the SOCKS proxy server:
$mailman.SocksVersion = 5
#  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
#  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

#  Set the POP3 server's hostname
$mailman.MailHost = "pop.example.com"

#  Set the POP3 login/password.
