NAME

       pop2front - POP3 Front End

SYNOPSIS

       pop3front-auth cvm program [ args ... ]

       pop3front-maildir [ default-maildir ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  POP3  front end is composed of two pieces: an authentication front end and a transfer
       back-end.

       Connections are timed out after $TIMEOUT seconds of inactivity (defaults to  1200  seconds
       or 20 minutes), or $SESSION_TIMEOUT seconds after the connection was established (defaults
       to 86400 seconds or 24 hours).

       pop3front-auth authenticates the username and password sent by the client using the  named
       cvm.   If successful, it sets up the environment and executes program.  It also offers RFC
       1734 complient AUTH support through ``cvm-sasl''.

       pop3front-maildir serves messages via POP3 out of a maildir.   If  $MAILBOX  is  set,  its
       contents  are used as the path to the mailbox, otherwise the default-mailbox argument must
       be present.  If $MAX_MESSAGES is set, the total number  of  accessable  messages  will  be
       limited  to that number.  In addition, if either of $MAX_CUR_MESSAGES or $MAX_NEW_MESSAGES
       are set, the total number of accessable messages in the  "cur"  and  "new"  subdirectories
       respectively will each be limited to that number.
