Greetings, finally I get to contribute something. My POP Before SMTP was
crashing my mail server so I had had it off since Dec. Earlier this week I
finally sat down and looked through my sendmail.cf.popb4smtp found in
/etc/mail line by line and found that these two sections had had duplicate
entries:

# Pop-before-smtp secondary access hash
Kpopauth hash -a<MATCH> /etc/mail/popip.db

# Put the address into cannonical form (even if it doesn't resolve to an
MX).
R$*   $: $>Parse0 03 $1
R$* < $* > $*  $: $1 < $2 . > $3
R$* < $* . . > $* $1 < $2 . > $3
# Test against pop-before-relay hash
R$*   $: < $&{client_addr} >
R< $* >   $(popauth $1 $)
R$* < MATCH >  $#OK

I have had my POP Before SMTP working <knock on wood> since Tuesday.

Let me know if you need a clean version of sendmail.cf.popb4smtp, Mr.
Kriwitsky was nice enough to let me compare his to mine. Thanks Dan.
