NAME
       pop_auth - set an user's APOP secret

SYNOPSIS
       pop_auth [-a] [! | name ...]

DESCRIPTION
       Pop_auth asks user for his APOP secret and stores this secret after encryption in ~/.spop3d file. Used encryption is very weak and protects
       only from curious system administrator who accidentialy looks at ~/.spop3d file.  Don't use your account password as the APOP secret!!!

       Pop_auth will set APOP secret for all maildrop names specified in the command line.  You can use  the  special  !  name	to  specifiy  your
       default maildrop.  If called without any arguments, pop_auth will set APOP secret for the default maildrop.

OPTIONS
       -a     Set the same APOP secret for all maildrops definied in ~/.spop3d

FILES
       ~/.spop3d
	      User configuration file. APOP secret is written here.
