+From the DESIGN-document:
+
+Well, the goals themselves are obvious; they're probably the same for most
+other POP3 servers as well. It's their priority that differs. For popa3d,
+the goals are:
+
+1. Security (to the extent that is possible with POP3 at all, of course).
+2. Reliability (again, as limited by the mailbox format and the protocol).
+3. RFC compliance (slightly relaxed to work with real-world POP3 clients).
+4. Performance (limited by the more important goals, above).
+
+This package is installed to be run from inetd, which is sufficient
+for normal usage. However, it is possible to build a stand-alone
+version, should you need better performance. (This is currently not
+supported by the package system.)
