Lonnie:

I suggest that you do not enable SMTP connections. Every ISP should
provide an SMTP relay that people can use. Enabling SMTP connections
can sadly mean your server will get pounded with spammers, and there
is nothing much you can do about it.

Keep in mind that IMAP is a far superior protocol to POP3 - most
servers should be able to do both with no hassles.
