I don't know about a default but I use 'qpopper' on my home system. You set your mail client to point to the box that contains the pop server and the user name/password is the user name/password on that box. Then you can run 'fetchmail' to bring the mail in. You can set it to run as a daemon. Exim or sendmail needs to be in the mix also. I'm sure you will get other responses. hth, kent
