Overview
popper serves mail via the Post Office Protocol. Supported options include:
-
-a plaintextotpsasl -
Tells
popperwhich authentication mode is acceptable, sasl enables SASL (RFC2222), and otp enables OTP (RFC1938) authentication. Both disable plaintext passwords. -
--address-log=file -
Logs the addresses (along with a timestamp) of all clients to the specified file. This can be used to implement POP-before-SMTP authentication.
-
-d -
Enables more verbose log messages.
-
-i -
When not started by inetd, this flag tells
popperthat it has to create a socket by itself. -
-k -
Tells
popperto use Kerberos for authentication. This is the traditional way of doing Kerberos authentication, and is normally done on a separate port (as it doesn't follow RFC1939), and should be used instead of using SASL. -
-p port -
Port to listen to, in combination with
-i. -
-t file -
Trace all commands to file.
-
-T seconds -
Set timeout to something other than the default of 120 seconds.
