    Hi
    As part of a new site I'm developing, I am considering giving POP3 addresses for the site out with the product I am selling.

    What kind of issues should I consider before doing? Would security be a big issue?

    Thanks but I should be ok on the spam front.

    Users will be paying for it :)

    Inbound spam I mean. Your users won't want a service if you've no spam checking in place (I presume). Spam checking is expensive on CPU cycles, and if you don't block some/most of it, it'll be sitting in POP3 boxes wasting disk space. Which brings us nicely back to the disk space issue as well. Just allow for it.. it's not a blocker or anything. Still you should consider it.
