This page is dedicated to my implementation of the POP3 deamon.

History | Download | Documentation

Current version (0.5) implements rfc1939, which is the newest rfc on the subject.
It has everything this rfc describes, icnl the optional commands like: TOP, USER (yes, this is optional ;) ), UIDL. It also supports the CAPA command as specified in rfc2449. In furute releases it will be a stand alone server (e.g. not requiring inetd) and will provide SSL and some advanced authentication methods.


History

This daemon was written for speed. That is why the first versions are rather 'raw', they just implement the requierd commands. It was written as an inetd plug-in, becouse it was written in a hurry. This deamon really requierd speed, becouse it was serving over 100000 pop account, which ware available from three clustered linux hosts. This daemon works only with Maildir maildrop format, so is ideal for use with qmail :)
