Basically, the server listens on the TCP port named \*(lqpop\*(rq for connections and enters the POP upon establishing a connection. The `\-p' option overrides the default TCP port. .PP If the POP2 configuration option is defined, then the server also implements version 2 of the protocol. .PP If the APOP configuration option is defined, then the server supports a non-standard mechanism for identity-establishment in which authentication credentials are used to provide for origin authentication and reply protection, but which do not involve sending a password in the clear over the network.

See the POPSERVICE configuration option for more details. .sp Previous versions of the server (10/28/84) had the restriction that the POP client may retrieve messages for login users only. This restriction has been lifted, and true POB support is available (sending mail to a mailbox on the POP service host which does not map to a user\-id in the password file). .En @ 1.8 log @fixup RFC references @ text @d2 1 a2 1 .\" @@(#)$Id: popd.rf,v 1.7 90/04/09 10:06:15 sources Exp Locker: sources $ d11 1 a11 1 The \fIpopd\fR server implements the Post Office protocol, d17 10 @ 1.7 log @*** empty log message *** @ text @d2 1 a2 1 .\" @@(#)$Id: popd.rf,v 1.6 90/04/09 09:56:01 sources Exp Locker: sources $ d12 1 a12 1 as described in RFC819 (revised, \fIMH\fR internal). d25 1 a25 1 (RFC\-1082). @ 1.6 log @*** empty log message *** @ text @d2 1 a2 1 .\" @@(#)$Id: popd.rf,v 1.5 90/04/05 15:10:37 sources Exp Locker: sources $ d13 2 a14 1 Basically, the server listens on TCP port 109 for connections and enters the d33 5 @ 1.5 log @add ID @ text @d2 1 a2 1 .\" @@(#)$Id:$ d21 4 a24 1 \fIPost Office Protocol (revised)\fR (aka RFC\-819 with revisions), @ 1.4 log @put things back, do .NA stuff another way @ text @d2 1 @ 1.3 log @typo @ text @d2 2 a3 2 .TH POPD 8 @@(MHCENTERFOOT) @@(MHLEFTFOOT) .SH .NA d5 1 a5 1 .SH .SY @ 1.2 log @fixup for makewhatis @ text @d2 1 a2 1 .TH POPD 8 [mh.6] MH @ 1.1 log @Initial revision @ text @d2 2 a3 2 .SC POPD 8 .NA d5 1 a5 1 .SY @
