I only glanced at the patch and didn't see what multiple server
support meant, but I wanted to suggest a feature from pspam/pop.py
that I've found very useful.  The proxy determines the real server to
use based on the USER name.  My pop client (VM in XEmacs) is
configured this way:
      "slothrop.zope.com:1110:pass:jeremy@mail.zope.com:"
      "slothrop.zope.com:1110:pass:jhylton@mail.speakeasy.net:"

There's a single server listening on port 1110.  It will act as a
proxy for whatever real server is lasted after the @ in the user
name.  It strips off the server name before passing the USER command
on to the real server.
