+Smunge is a stand alone POP3 funneling proxy server, designed
+to allow clients to attach to multiple pop servers as if they
+were one. Smunge can be used to join together multiple mailboxes,
+or to present different users with different mailboxes (depending
+on username). This allows for administrators of pop servers to set
+up either load balancing or redundant clusters for pop services.
+It was initially designed to smooth over the transition of pop
+services from one machine to another, without users losing mail
+(by keeping the old server active whilst the new one was being
+installed). It also supports DRAC for pop-before-smtp authentication.
+Also featured is support for LDAP based authentication and lookups
+for mapping users to sets of pop servers.
