This program is an application-level gateway, or proxy, designed to allow
|
|
mail retrieval from POP3 servers by systems that either:
|
|
|
|
(a) are behind a firewall or screening router OR
|
|
(b) do not have an assigned IP number OR
|
|
(c) must share a SLIP/PPP connection on another system
|
|
|
|
It connects to the POP3 server on behalf of the client, performs the login
|
|
and then passes data both ways until either the client or the server shut
|
|
down the connection. In the meanwhile, the connection will appear to have
|
|
originated on the host running the proxy.
