popper serves mail via the Post Office Protocol. Supported options include:

-a noneotp, --auth-mode=noneotp tells popper what authentication modes are acceptable, passing otp disables clear text passwords. This has only effect when not using Kerberos authentication.

--address-log=file logs the addresses of all clients to the specified file

-d, --debug enables more verbose log messages

-i, --interactive when not started by inetd, this flag tells popper that it has to create a socket by itself

-k, --kerberos tells popper to use the Kerberos for authentication.

-p port, --port=port port to listen to, in combination with -i

-t file, --trace-file=file trace all command to file
