48 POP \- POP database of subscribers
52 The POP database has exactly the same format as the \fIBBoards\fR\0(5)
54 although many fields are unused.
56 only four fields are examined:
59 .ta \w'encrypted password 'u
60 \fIfield\fR \fIvalue\fR
61 name the POP subscriber
62 primary file the maildrop for the POP subscriber
63 (relative to the POP directory)
64 encrypted password the POP subscriber's password
65 network address the remote user allowed to RPOP
69 This is an ASCII file. Each field within each POP subscriber's entry
70 is separated from the next by a colon.
71 Each POP subscriber is separated from the next by a new-line.
72 If the password field is null, then no password is valid.
74 To add a new POP subscriber,
75 edit the file adding a line such as
80 Then, use \fIpopwrd\fR to set the password for the POP subscriber.
81 If you wish to allow POP subscribers to access their maildrops without
82 supplying a password (by using privileged ports),
83 fill\-in the network address field, as in:
86 mrose::mrose:::mrose@@nrtc-isc::::0
88 which permits \*(lqmrose@@nrtc\-isc\*(rq to access the maildrop for the POP
89 subscriber \*(lqmrose\*(rq.
90 Multiple network addresses may be specified by separating them with commas,
94 dave::dave:9X5/m4yWHvhCc::dave@@romano.wisc.edu,dave@@rsch.wisc.edu::::
96 To disable a POP subscriber from \fIreceiving\fR mail,
97 set the primary file name to the empty string.
98 To prevent a POP subscriber from \fIpicking\-up\fR mail,
99 set the encrypted password to \*(lq*\*(rq
100 and set the network address to the empty string.
102 This file resides in home directory of the login \*(lqpop\*(rq.
103 Because of the encrypted passwords,
104 it can and does have general read permission.
106 ^/usr/spool/pop/POP~^POP database
108 bboards(5), pop(8), popaka(8), popd(8), popwrd(8)
110 A binary indexed file format should be available for fast access.
112 Appropriate precautions must be taken to lock the file against changes
113 if it is to be edited with a text editor.
114 A \fIvipop\fR program is needed.
