POPPER(8) BSD System Manager’s Manual POPPER(8)

NAME

popper — POP3 server

SYNOPSIS

popper [−k] [−a plaintext|otp|sasl] [−t file] [−T seconds] [−d] [−i] [−p port] [−-address-log=file]

DESCRIPTION

popper serves mail via the Post Office Protocol. Supported options include:

−a plaintext|otp|sasl

Tells popper which authentication mode is acceptable, sasl enables SASL (RFC2222), and otp enables OTP (RFC1938) authentication. Both disable plaintext passwords.

−-address-log=file

Logs the addresses (along with a timestamp) of all clients to the specified file. This can be used to implement POP-before-SMTP authentication.

−d

Enables more verbose log messages.

−i

When not started by inetd, this flag tells popper that it has to create a socket by itself.

−k

Tells popper to use Kerberos for authentication. This is the traditional way of doing Kerberos authentication, and is normally done on a separate port (as it doesn’t follow RFC1939), and should be used instead of using SASL.

−p port

Port to listen to, in combination with −i.

−t file

Trace all commands to file.

−T seconds

Set timeout to something other than the default of 120 seconds.

SEE ALSO

push(8), movemail(8)

STANDARDS

RFC1939 (Post Office Protocol - Version 3)

AUTHORS

The server was initially developed at the University of California, Berkeley.

Many changes have been made as part of the KTH Kerberos distributions.
