66 popd \- the POP server
72 The \fIpopd\fR server implements the Post Office Protocol (version 3),
73 as described in RFC1081 and RFC1082.
74 Basically, the server listens on the TCP port named \*(lqpop\*(rq
75 for connections and enters the
76 POP upon establishing a connection.
77 The `\-p' option overrides the default TCP port.
79 If the POP2 configuration option is defined,
80 then the server also implements version 2 of the protocol.
82 If the APOP configuration option is defined,
83 then the server supports a non-standard mechanism for identity-establishment
84 in which authentication credentials are used to provide for origin
85 authentication and reply protection,
86 but which do not involve sending a password in the clear over the network.
87 See \fIpopauth\fR(8) for more details.

93 \fIPost Office Protocol - version 3\fR (aka RFC\-1081),
95 \fIPost Office Protocol - version 3: Extended service offerings\fP
104 For historical reasons, the \fIMH\fP POP defaults to using
105 the port named \*(lqpop\*(rq (109) instead of its newly assigned
106 port named \*(lqpop3\*(rq (110).
107 See the POPSERVICE configuration option for more details.
109 Previous versions of the server (10/28/84) had the restriction that
110 the POP client may retrieve messages for login users only.
111 This restriction has been lifted,
112 and true POB support is available
113 (sending mail to a mailbox on the POP service host
114 which does not map to a user\-id in the password file).
