4 .NA | |
5 POP \- POP database of subscribers | |
6 .SY | |
7 /usr/spool/pop/POP | |
8 .DE | |
9 The POP database has exactly the same format as the \fIBBoards\fR\0(5) | |
10 database, | |
11 although many fields are unused. | |
12 Currently, | |
13 only four fields are examined: | |
14 | |
15 .nf | |
16 .ta \w'encrypted password 'u | |
17 \fIfield\fR \fIvalue\fR | |
18 name the POP subscriber | |
19 primary file the maildrop for the POP subscriber | |
20 (relative to the POP directory) | |
21 encrypted password the POP subscriber's password | |
22 network address the remote user allowed to RPOP | |
23 .re | |
24 .fi | |
25 | |
26 This is an ASCII file. Each field within each POP subscriber's entry | |
27 is separated from the next by a colon. | |
28 Each POP subscriber is separated from the next by a new-line. | |
29 If the password field is null, then no password is valid. | |
30 | |
31 To add a new POP subscriber, | |
32 edit the file adding a line such as | |
33 | |
34 .ti +.5i | |
35 mrose::mrose:::::::0 | |
36 | |
37 Then, use \fIpopwrd\fR to set the password for the POP subscriber. | |
38 If you wish to allow POP subscribers to access their maildrops without | |
39 supplying a password (by using privileged ports), | |
40 fill\-in the network address field, as in: | |
41 | |
42 .ti +.5i | |
43 mrose::mrose:::mrose@nrtc-isc::::0 | |
44 | |
45 which permits \*(lqmrose@nrtc\-isc\*(rq to access the maildrop for the POP | |
46 subscriber \*(lqmrose\*(rq. | |
47 Multiple network addresses may be specified by separating them with commas, | |
48 as in: | |
49 | |
50 .ti +.5i | |

53 To disable a POP subscriber from \fIreceiving\fR mail, | |
54 set the primary file name to the empty string. | |
55 To prevent a POP subscriber from \fIpicking\-up\fR mail, | |
56 set the encrypted password to \*(lq*\*(rq | |
57 and set the network address to the empty string. | |
58 | |
59 This file resides in home directory of the login \*(lqpop\*(rq. | |
60 Because of the encrypted passwords, | |
61 it can and does have general read permission. | |

67 A binary indexed file format should be available for fast access. | |
68 | |
69 Appropriate precautions must be taken to lock the file against changes | |
70 if it is to be edited with a text editor. | |
71 A \fIvipop\fR program is needed. | |
