solid-pop3d - The Solid POP3 Server
SYNOPSIS
solid-pop3d [-rd] [-n maildropfile] [-t maildroptype] [-a time] [-f configfile]
DESCRIPTION
The Solid POP3 Server is an implementation of the Post Office Protocol server that has flexibility on mind. It has support for mailbox,
maildir, APOP, bulletins and few other things. It can work as inetd or standalone server. See README for more details.
OPTIONS -n maildropfile
Specify a maildrop file (or directory). The following strings beginning with % character are recognized and replaced:
%s replace it with user name
%dN replace it with N-th character of user name
%% replace it with single % character
%m replace it with mapped user name (read VIRTUALS file)
%o replace it with the "original" user name. This is the user name with any UserMapPrefix removed. Unless DoMapping is enabled,
and a UserMapPrefix is supplied, this will be a blank string.
If specified path is not absolute it is treated as relative to user home directory. For example: /var/mail/%d1/%d2/%s is expanded to
/var/mail/j/u/jurekb and Mail/bugtraq is expanded to /home/jurekb/Mail/bugtraq for "jurekb" user on my system. The default is
/var/mail/%s or Maildir when mailbox support is not compiled in.
-t maildroptype
Specify a maildrop type. mailbox and maildir are supported. The default is mailbox or maildir when mailbox support is not compiled
in.
-a time
Specify an autologout time. The following suffixes are recognized:
s the time is specified in seconds
m the time is specified in minutes
h the time is specified in hours
d the time is specified in days
w the time is specified in weeks
Seconds are used if no suffix is present. The default value is 2 minutes.
-f configfile
Specify a configuration file. The default is /etc/spop3d.conf
-d Set server into debugging mode.
-r Allow root login. This feature is disabled by default and shouldn't be used.
FILES
~/.spop3d
User configuration file.
~/.spop3d-bull
This file is used by bulletin code to determine last bulletin received by user.
/var/lib/solid-pop3d/bulletins
Bulletins directory.
/etc/spop3d.conf
Global configuration file.

_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The package pop3d::dbox provides simple/basic mailbox management facilities. Each mailbox object manages a single base directory whose sub-
directories represent the managed mailboxes. Mails in a mailbox are represented by files in a mailbox directory, where each of these files
contains a single mail, both headers and body, in RFC 822 (http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc822.txt) conformant format.
Any mailbox object following the interface described below can be used in conjunction with the pop3 server core provided by the package
pop3d. It is especially possible to directly use the objects created by this package in the storage callback of pop3 servers following the
same interface as servers created by the package pop3d.
::pop3d::dbox::new ?dbName?
This command creates a new database object with an associated global Tcl command whose name is dbName.
The command dbName may be used to invoke various operations on the database. It has the following general form:
dbName option ?arg arg ...?
Option and the args determine the exact behavior of the command.
The following commands are possible for database objects:
dbName destroy
Destroys the mailbox database and all transient data. The directory associated with the object is not destroyed.
dbName base base
Defines the base directory containing the mailboxes to manage. If this method is not called none of the following methods will work.
dbName add mbox
Adds a mailbox of name mbox to the database. The name must be a valid path component.
dbName remove mbox
Removes the mailbox specified through mbox, and the mails contained therein, from the database. This method will fail if the speci-
fied mailbox is locked.
dbName move old new
Changes the name of the mailbox old to new.
dbName list
Returns a list containing the names of all mailboxes in the directory associated with the database.
dbName exists mbox
Returns true if the mailbox with name mbox exists in the database, or false if not.
dbName locked mbox
Checks if the mailbox specified through mbox is currently locked.
dbName lock mbox
This method locks the specified mailbox for use by a single connection to the server. This is necessary to prevent havoc if several
connections to the same mailbox are open. The complementary method is unlock. The command will return true if the lock could be set
successfully or false if not.
dbName unlock mbox
This is the complementary method to lock, it revokes the lock on the specified mailbox.
dbName stat mbox
Determines the number of messages in the specified mailbox and returns this number. This method fails if the mailbox mbox is not
locked.
dbName size mbox ?msgId?
Determines the size of the message specified through its id in msgId, in bytes, and returns this number. The command will return the
size of the whole maildrop if no message id was specified. If specified the msgId has to be in the range "1 ... [dbName stat]" or
this call will fail. If stat was not called before this call, size will assume that there are zero messages in the mailbox.
dbName dele mbox msgList
Deletes the messages whose numeric ids are contained in the msgList from the mailbox specified via mbox. The msgList must not be
empty or this call will fail. The numeric ids in msgList have to be in the range "1 ... [dbName stat]" or this call will fail. If
stat was not called before this call, dele will assume that there are zero messages in the mailbox.
storageCmd get mbox msgId
Returns a handle for the specified message. This handle is a mime token following the interface described in the documentation of
package mime. The token is read-only. In other words, the caller is allowed to do anything with the token except to modify it. The
msgId has to be in the range "1 ... [dbName stat]" or this call will fail. If stat was not called before this call, get will assume
that there are zero messages in the mailbox.
