dot-spop3d(5)							   User's Manual						     dot-spop3d(5)

NAME

       dot-spop3d - user configuration data for The Solid POP3 Server.

DESCRIPTION

       A user can specify their maildrop location, type and associated APOP secret in the configuration file ~/.spop3d.

       The file must be set to mode 0600 (-rw-------) or the server will not honour its content.

       Maildrop specification consists of three parts, separated by white space characters:

       MailDrop path type

       Path should be specified in the same format as the -n option in solid-pop3d(8).	Type should be mailbox or maildir.

       APOP  secret  specification consists of the word APOPSecret followed by an encrypted secret. You shouldn't change this secret manually. Use
       pop_auth(1) to do this.

       Both maildrop and APOP secret specifications may optionally be followed by a  mailbox  name.  This  allows,  for  instance,  user+boxA  and
       user+boxB  to  be  used	as  login  names  to  access different mailboxes, where + means value of UserMailDropDelimiter server setting (see
       spop3d.conf(5)).

       The APOP secret associated with a particular maildrop should be followed with the same mailbox name (or lack  thereof).	If  no	secret	is
       specified for a maildrop then the user's standard POP password should be used to authenticate instead.

EXAMPLE

	      MailDrop	     Mail/default   mailbox
	      APOPSecret     2345678901
	      MailDrop	     Mail/bugtraq   mailbox bugtraq
	      APOPSecret     0123456789     bugtraq
	      MailDrop	     Mail/private   mailbox private
	      APOPSecret     9876543210     private

       To set the APOP secret for the above maildrops use the following pop_auth(1) commands:
	      pop_auth
	      pop_auth bugtraq
	      pop_auth private

FILES

       ~/.spop3d
	      User configuration file.
