NAME

       pop3proxyd - Cyrus IMAP documentation

       This  is  a hard linked copy of pop3d(8), retained for backwards compatibility from when a
       murder frontend used its own pop3d binaries.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       pop3d is an POP3 server.  It accepts commands on its standard input and  responds  on  its
       standard  output.   It  MUST  be 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
              Use  the  specified  configuration  file  config-file  rather  than   the   default
              imapd.conf(5).

       -U uses
              The  maximum  number  of  times that the process should be used for new connections
              before shutting 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.

EXAMPLES

       pop3d is commonly included in the SERVICES section of cyrus.conf(5) like so:

          SERVICES {
              imap        cmd="imapd -U 30" listen="imap" prefork=0
              imaps       cmd="imapd -s -U 30" listen="imaps" prefork=0 maxchild=100
              pop3        cmd="pop3d -U 30" listen="pop3" prefork=0
              pop3s       cmd="pop3d -s -U 30" listen="pop3s" prefork=0 maxchild=100
              lmtpunix    cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp" prefork=0 maxchild=20
              sieve       cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
              notify      cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/notify" proto="udp" prefork=1
              httpd       cmd="httpd" listen=8080 prefork=1 maxchild=20
          }
