POP3D (8) UNIX Programmer's Manual POP3D (8) NAME pop3d -- remote maildrop access server SYNOPSIS /usr/sbin/pop3d DESCRIPTION Pop3d is a mailbox server based on the Internet RFC1225, Post Office Protocol Version 3. The program allows remote access to UNIX maildrops found in /private/spool/mail. The server requires user and password verification before a maildrop can be opened. The server can retrieve and delete messages from the maildrop on a per-message basis. Pop3d listens for TCP requests on port 110. Once connected it expects single line commands terminated by a <CR-LF>. Pop3d currently supports the following POP3 commands; the commands are case independent. In addition, the server supports one extension command, HOST, which allows access to BSMTP formatted maildrops in the directory /private/spool/pop. The syntax for the HOST command is: HOST <hostname> Example: HOST fennario.ucdavis.edu this will open the file at /private/spool/pop/fennario.ucdavis.edu Command Description USER specify user for maildrop access PASS specify password for maildrop access STAT give message count and size of maildrop LIST list size of individual messages RETR retrieve a message DELE delete a message NOOP do nothing, return a positive response LAST give highest message number accessed RSET unmark messages marked for deletion TOP retrieve part of a message QUIT terminate session The remaining optional command specified in RFC1225 (RPOP) is not implemented.
