OVERVIEW Mail::POP3 is a working POP3 server module, with a working mpopd that can either work as a standalone, be called from inetd, or be used in non-forking mode for use on Windows platforms that do not do forking correctly. SCRIPTS mpopd - the core. Read this to see how to use modules. mpopdctl - gives command-line control of a running mpopd. mpopdstats - gives command-line statistics from mpopd. installscript - helps install mpopd and create configuration. update-conf - helps you upgrade an older config (the file format changed). DESIGN It is designed as follows: Mail::POP3::Daemon does the socket-accepting. Mail::POP3::Server does (most of) the network POP3 stuff. Mail::POP3::Security::{User,Connection} do the checks on users and connections. Mail::POP3::Folder::* classes handles the mail folders. This last characteristic means that diverse sources of information can be served up as though they are a POP3 mailbox by implementing a M::P::F subclass. An example is provided in M::P::F::webscrape. FUTURE This module will become a Net::Server subclass, such that the Folder functionality will be folded back into the server, in a class called (probably) Net::Server::POP3::webscrape (etc).
