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