NAME

6       dbmail-pop3d - provides access to the DBMail system to client support-
7       ing Post Office Protocol, POP3, as specified in RFC 1939.
8

SYNOPSIS

10       dbmail-pop3d [-f configfile] [-p pidfile] [-nvVh]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The dbmail-pop3d daemon is a fully featured POP3 server. It will spawn
14       into a number of default processes as set in the dbmail.conf file.
15       These processes will enable full POP3 communication with clients.
16

OPTIONS

18       -p pidfile
19          Specify an alternate pid file. The daemons are currently hardcoded
20          to use /var/run/dbmail-<daemon> for their pid files, and will halt
21          if the pid file cannot be written. Use the -p pidfile option to
22          place the pid file in your system's preferred location.
23
24       -n
25          No daemonize. The program remains attached to the console from which
26          it was started. This is quite useful for debugging when combined
27          with the -v option.
28

COMMON OPTIONS

30       -f configfile
31          Specify an alternate config file. The utilities are currently
32          hardcoded to use /etc/dbmail.conf for their configs, and will halt
33          if the config file cannot be found. Use the -f configfile option to
34          specify your system's preferred config file location.
35
36       -q
37          Quietly skip interactive prompts and helpful status messages which
38          would otherwise be printed to stdout. Use two -q's to silence errors
39          which would otherwise be printed to stderr.
40
41       -v
42          Operate verbosely. Some of the utilities in the DBMail suite can
43          take two -v's for extra verbosity. Those which don't understand this
44          convention won't complain about having the extra -v and will simply
45          operate at their normal verbosity.
46
47       -V
48          Show the version and copyright, then exit.
49
50       -h
51          Show a brief summary of options, then exit.
