11 pop3d [ -C config-file ] [ -U uses ] [ -T timeout ] [ -D ]
12 [ -s ] [ -k ] [ -p ssf ]
13
15 Pop3d is a POP3 server. It accepts commands on its standard input and
16 responds on its standard output. It MUST invoked by master(8) with
17 those descriptors attached to a remote client connection.
18
19 Pop3d reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file
20 unless specified otherwise by -C.
21
22 If the directory log/user exists under the directory specified in the
23 configdirectory configuration option, then pop3d will create protocol
24 telemetry logs for sessions authenticating as user. The telemetry logs
25 will be stored in the log/user directory with a filename of the pop3d
26 process-id.
27
29 -C config-file
30 Read configuration options from config-file.
31
32 -U uses
33 The maximum number of times that the process should be used for
34 new connections before shutting down. The default is 250.
35
36 -T timeout
37 The number of seconds that the process will wait for a new con‐
38 nection before shutting down. Note that a value of 0 (zero)
39 will disable the timeout. The default is 60.
40
41 -D Run external debugger specified in debug_command.
42
43 -s Serve POP3 over SSL (pop3s). All data to and from pop3d is
44 encrypted using the Secure Sockets Layer.
45
46 -k Serve MIT's KPOP (Kerberized POP) protocol instead.
47
48 -p ssf Tell pop3d that an external layer exists. An SSF (security
49 strength factor) of 1 means an integrity protection layer
50 exists. Any higher SSF implies some form of privacy protection.
