**pop3proxyd**
**************

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
   }
