There are other reasons for configuring Secure POP - this was just one.
I have requirements for some mobile devices - I have not looked at
sM for that purpose.

BTW OpenVMS 7.3-2

I had soyMAIL installed at one point, but had a lot of issues with the
early versions.

So, what command proc or tcpip incantations get this to work?

Hmmmm... it is magic. apparently when I originally created my crt/key
files, I encrypted the key. Found this in the docs:

Secure POP does not support encrypted private keys. When you generate a
private key, you can choose to have the key encrypted in a passphrase
that you provide. This requires all users of the private key to have
access to the passphrase. The Secure POP server cannot access the
passphrase.

Once I recreated the crt/key files it started up on port 995. go figure..
