I agree that having it as a PDF is somewhat of a pain, but it's very
easy to open on a GUI and convert to text.
As for the security and efficiency I can personally attest that it has
had less vulernabilities than WU's POP daemon and it blows the pants
off it for speed. I've been using it for 14k+ E-mail accounts for
over 3 years without incident.
I'd need twice the hardware if I were using WU's POP daemon.
Compared to every other POP daemon I've researched I wouldn't use
anything else.
