qmail-pop3d - distribute mail via POP

SYNOPSIS

       qmail-pop3d maildirname

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-pop3d  lets  a user read and delete his mail through
       the network.

       Mail is stored in a maildir called  maildirname,  normally
       Maildir, in the user's home directory.

       qmail-pop3d  is  normally invoked under qmail-popup, which
       reads a username  and  password,  and  /bin/checkpassword,
       which  checks  the  password and sets up environment vari-
       ables.

       qmail-pop3d has a 20-minute idle timeout.

       qmail-pop3d supports UIDL and TOP.

       qmail-pop3d appends an extra blank line to  every  message
       to work around serious bugs in certain clients.

       qmail-pop3d is based on a program contributed by Russ Nel-
       son.
