POP3 server process
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
.nf
\fBpop3d\fP [ \fB\-C\fP \fIconfig\-file\fP ] [ \fB\-U\fP \fIuses\fP ] [ \fB\-T\fP \fItimeout\fP ] [ \fB\-D\fP ]
    [ \fB\-s\fP ] [ \fB\-k\fP ] [ \fB\-p\fP \fIssf\fP ]

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBpop3d\fP is an POP3 server.  It accepts commands on its standard
input and responds on its standard output.  It MUST be invoked by
master(8) with those descriptors attached to a remote client
connection.
.sp
\fBpop3d\fP reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by \fB\-C\fP\&.
.sp
If the directory \fBlog\fP/\fIuser\fP exists under the directory specified in
the \fBconfigdirectory\fP configuration option, then \fBpop3d\fP will create
protocol telemetry logs for sessions authenticating as \fIuser\fP\&.
.sp
The telemetry logs will be stored in the \fBlog\fP/\fIuser\fP directory with
a filename of the \fBpop3d\fP process\-id.
