I'm afraid the ports don't allow me to do the customization
I need to do to the source code to limit what is logged, so
that I have a usable "pop.log" for my purposes.

However, I DID find a solution, crass as it is.  Since I was
certain (after viewing the Makefiles and configure) that the
"mysql.h" file was where it needed to be, I simply commented
out the checking code that was generating the error in the
"configure" file.  I figured at worst it just would not work.
But it now works just fine, and I have tpop3d happily writing
authenticated IPs to my MySQL database (and PostFix reading
them, but that's another matter).  Do I recommend that solution?
No, certainly not, but it worked for me.

So....... Never mind!

But I do appreciate you trying to help, thanks very much.
