## NAME

pop3p - POP3 proxy gateway service

## SYNOPSIS

pop3p [-d] [-l[[@]logfile]] [-pport] [-iinternal_ip] [-eexternal_ip] [-hdefault_ip[:port]]

## DESCRIPTION

pop3p is POP3 gateway service to allow internal users to access external POP3 servers.

## OPTIONS

| -I |  | Inetd mode. Standalone service only.
| -d |  | Daemonise. Detach service from console and run in the background.
| -t |  | Be silenT. Do not log start/stop/accept error records.
| -u |  | Never look for username authentication.
| -e |  | External address. IP address of interface proxy should initiate connections from. By default system will deside which address to use in accordance with routing table.
| -i |  | Internal address. IP address proxy accepts connections to. By default connection to any interface is accepted. It´s usually unsafe.
| -p |  | Port. Port proxy listens for incoming connections. Default is 110.
| -h |  | Default destination. It’s used if targed address is not specified by user.
| -l |  | Log. By default logging is to stdout. If logfile is specified logging is to file. Under Unix, if ´@´ preceeds logfile, syslog is used for logging.
| -S |  | Increase or decrease stack size. You may want to try something like -S8192 if you experience 3proxy crashes.

## CLIENTS

You can use any MUA (Mail User Agent) with POP3 support. Set client to use internal_ip and port as a POP3 server. Address of real POP3 server must be configured as a part of POP3 username. Format for username is username@server, where server is address of POP3 server and username is user´s login on this POP3 server. Login itself may contain ´@´ sign. Only cleartext authentication is supported, because challenge-response authentication (APOP, CRAM-MD5, etc) requires challenge from server before we know which server to connect.
