Hi,

I've finally written a patch for supporting unix sockets. I tested the patch on Mac OS X using socat. (I've never tested the patch with real mail servers.)

This patch is for POPFile v1.1.1 RC5 but it is compatible with POPFile v1.1.0.

HOW TO USE THIS PATCH

1. Apply the patch 2. Start POPFile and go to the Advanced page 3. Modify *_unix_socket to your favorite socket name (e.g. /tmp/popfile-smtp.sock) 4. If you want to connect to the SMTP chain server via unix sockets, modify smtp_chain_unix_socket too 5. Restart POPFile 6. POPFile will wait for connections using unix sockets instead of inet sockets
