  "evaluatorSolution": "POP3 is an unsecured protocol for Internet facing systems that does not encrypt its transmissions.  POP3 should be tunneled over SSL/TLS or another encrypted tunnel.  The software should be patched and configured properly.  Earlier versions of POP, such as POP2, are unsecured and obsolete, and should be disabled.",
