POP3D(8)                                                                                            POP3D(8)



NAME
       pop3d - POP3 server process

SYNOPSIS
       pop3d [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]
             [ -s ] [ -k ] [ -p ssf ]

DESCRIPTION
       Pop3d  is a POP3 server.  It accepts commands on its standard input and responds on its standard out-put. output.
       put.  It MUST invoked by master(8) with those descriptors attached to a remote client connection.

       Pop3d reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.

       If  the  directory log/user exists under the directory specified in the configdirectory configuration
       option, then pop3d will create protocol telemetry logs for  sessions  authenticating  as  user.   The
       telemetry logs will be stored in the log/user directory with a filename of the pop3d process-id.

OPTIONS
       -C config-file
              Read configuration options from config-file.

       -U uses
              The  maximum  number of times that the process should be used for new connections before shut-ting shutting
              ting down.  The default is 250.

       -T timeout
              The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new connection  before  shutting  down.
              Note that a value of 0 (zero) will disable the timeout.  The default is 60.

       -D     Run external debugger specified in debug_command.

       -s     Serve POP3 over SSL (pop3s).  All data to and from pop3d is encrypted using the Secure Sockets
              Layer.

       -k     Serve MIT's KPOP (Kerberized POP) protocol instead.

       -p ssf Tell pop3d that an external layer exists.  An SSF (security strength factor)  of  1  means  an
              integrity protection layer exists.  Any higher SSF implies some form of privacy protection.
