enamel - the mailserver for the BeO S
Contents [ MCP ] [ nntp ] [ smtp ] [ smtpd ] [ pop3 ] [ pop3d ] [ hermes ] [ Up ] | pop3d pop3d is a pop3 server. It maintains multiple pop3 users; each user is mapped to target. It is possible that more than one user maps to one target. This case is a bit special. If the user who picks up mail from that account first is deleting the mail, the second one will not get them. But if he leaves them on the server (a lot of pop clients are able to do that), both can get it. To configure pop3d, you have to edit the file /boot/home/config/settings/pop3d_settings with an editor like StyledEdit or vi. Please have a look at the example config file to find out more about that file. The following is a description of the available config keywords: Logfile <Name> The file pop3d writes some logging output to. (e.g.: LogFile /boot/home/log/pop3d.log) Port <Number> The normal port for pop3 is 110. Normally you won't need to change this. You can configure multiple ports, pop3d will run on all of them simultanously. MaxConnections <Number> This is the maximum number of parallel processed connections. If too much clients connect at once and your machine is running out of CPU power, lower this value. A nice setting is 10, just to be safe from idiots trying to bring your machine down. User <Name> Password <Password> Target <Target> This one configures a mailbox for the user "Name" and the pop password "Password". All messages with the target field set to "Target" will be send to this user when he picks up his mail. (e.g.: User JohnDoe Password Secret Target "JohnDoesPop")
