man dot-spop3d (Formats) - user configuration data for The Solid POP3 Server.
NAME
dot-spop3d - user configuration data for The Solid POP3 Server.
DESCRIPTION
A user can specify their maildrop location, type and associated APOP secret in the configuration file ~/.spop3d.
The file must be set to mode 0600 (-rw-------) or the server will not honour its content.
Maildrop specification consists of three parts, separated by white space characters:
- MailDrop path type
Path should be specified in the same format as the -n option in solid-pop3d(8). Type should be mailbox or maildir.
APOP secret specification consists of the word APOPSecret followed by an encrypted secret. You shouldn't change this secret manually. Use pop_auth(1) to do this.
Both maildrop and APOP secret specifications may optionally be followed by a mailbox name. This allows, for instance, user+boxA and user+boxB to be used as login names to access different mailboxes, where + means value of UserMailDropDelimiter server setting (see spop3d.conf(5)).
The APOP secret associated with a particular maildrop should be followed with the same mailbox name (or lack thereof). If no secret is specified for a maildrop then the user's standard POP password should be used to authenticate instead.
EXAMPLE
MailDrop Mail/default mailbox APOPSecret 2345678901 MailDrop Mail/bugtraq mailbox bugtraq APOPSecret 0123456789 bugtraq MailDrop Mail/private mailbox private APOPSecret 9876543210 private
To set the APOP secret for the above maildrops use the following pop_auth(1) commands:
pop_auth pop_auth bugtraq pop_auth private
FILES
- ~/.spop3d
- User configuration file.
