CentOS - Oct 2010 - POP3 server

Hi folks

A POP3 client not configured to keep a copy of messages on the server, as soon
as retieve a message send a DELE commando with the number of the just retrieved
message. Then, at the end of the POP3 session, the clent sends a QUIT command,
wich order POP3 server to close the conection and delete the messages marqued
with DELE command.

So, I'm wondering if it's possible to tell Dovecot to actually delete
the message when receiving a DELE command instead of marking it for deletion
after the QUIT.

Or is any other POP3 server capable of doing this other than Dovecot.  (running
on CentOS of course)

Thanks 

David

Nope. RFC1939 specifically states that the DELE command only *marks*
the email for deletion. Once the server enters the 'update' state it
will perform the deletion. The only command that can enter that state
is the QUIT command.
