Which version of the popper did you use as the base ? The existing version
1.7?? is known to have bugs that can cause mail lossage. I used the 1.831
version.
We used the version that was in the krb5 beta 2 release, which was, I
believe, version 1.7.
I have made several non-Kerberos-related fixes to it related to mail
lossage; I don't know if any bugs are of that sort are left.
Obviously, though, having a Kerberos version of the popper based on
the most recent non-Kerberos version would be good.
I suspect that it would not be difficult to merge the differences
between 1.7 and 1.831 into my version, or to merge the differences
between stock 1.7 and my version in 1.831.

In the same popper or compilation options ?
Either. I.e., you can compile it to support only krb4 or only krb5,
or to support both in the same binary.
Neat, eh? :-)
