11 The \fIpopd\fR server implements the Post Office Protocol (version 3),
12 as described in RFC1081 and RFC1082.
13 Basically, the server listens on the TCP port named \*(lqpop\*(rq
14 for connections and enters the
15 POP upon establishing a connection.
16 The `\-p' option overrides the default TCP port.

18 If the POP2 configuration option is defined,
19 then the server also implements version 2 of the protocol.
20 .PP
21 If the APOP configuration option is defined,
22 then the server supports a non-standard mechanism for identity-establishment
23 in which authentication credentials are used to provide for origin
24 authentication and reply protection,
25 but which do not involve sending a password in the clear over the network.
26 See \fIpopauth\fR(8) for more details.

43 For historical reasons, the \fIMH\fP POP defaults to using
44 the port named \*(lqpop\*(rq (109) instead of its newly assigned
45 port named \*(lqpop3\*(rq (110).
46 See the POPSERVICE configuration option for more details.

48 Previous versions of the server (10/28/84) had the restriction that
49 the POP client may retrieve messages for login users only.
50 This restriction has been lifted,
51 and true POB support is available
52 (sending mail to a mailbox on the POP service host
53 which does not map to a user\-id in the password file).
