NAME

     popper -- POP3 server

SYNOPSIS

     popper [-k] [-a plaintext|otp|sasl] [-t file] [-T seconds] [-d] [-i] [-p port] [--address-log=file]

DESCRIPTION

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

     -a plaintext|otp|sasl
             Tells popper which 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 popper that it has to create a socket by itself.

     -k      Tells popper to 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.

STANDARDS

AUTHORS

     The server was initially developed at the University of California, Berkeley.

     Many changes have been made as part of the KTH Kerberos distributions.

PUSH(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   PUSH(8)

NAME

     push -- fetch mail via POP

SYNOPSIS

     push [-5 | --krb5] [-v | --verbose] [-f | --fork] [-l | --leave] [--from] [-c | --count] [--headers=headers] [-p port-spec |
	  --port=port-spec] po-box filename

DESCRIPTION

     push retrieves mail from the post office box po-box, and stores the mail in mbox format in filename.  The po-box can have any of the follow-
     ing formats:
	   'hostname:username'
	   'po:hostname:username'
	   'username@hostname'
	   'po:username@hostname'
	   'hostname'
	   'po:username'

     If no username is specified, push assumes that it's the same as on the local machine; hostname defaults to the value of the MAILHOST environ-
     ment variable.

     Supported options:

     -5, --krb5
	     use Kerberos 5 (if compiled with support for Kerberos 5)

     -f, --fork
	     fork before starting to delete messages

     -l, --leave
	     don't delete fetched mail

     --from  behave like from.

     -c, --count
	     first print how many messages and bytes there are.

     --headers=headers
	     a list of comma-separated headers that should get printed.

     -p port-spec, --port=port-spec
	     use this port instead of the default 'kpop' or '1109'.

     The default is to first try Kerberos 5 authentication and then, if that fails, Kerberos 4.

ENVIRONMENT

     MAILHOST
	     points to the post office, if no other hostname is specified.

EXAMPLES

	   $ push cornfield:roosta ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box

     tries to fetch mail for the user roosta from the post office at ``cornfield'', and stores the mail in ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box (you are using
     Gnus, aren't you?)

	   $ push --from -5 havregryn

     tries to fetch From: lines for current user at post office ``havregryn'' using Kerberos 5.

HISTORY

     push was written while waiting for movemail to finish getting the mail.
