the popa3d goals
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Is a POP3 daemon by Solar Designer.
|
|
|
|
Well, the goals themselves are obvious; they're probably the same for most
|
|
other POP3 servers as well. It's their priority that differs. For popa3d,
|
|
the goals are:
|
|
|
|
1. Security (to the extent that is possible with POP3 at all, of course).
|
|
2. Reliability (again, as limited by the mailbox format and the protocol).
|
|
3. RFC compliance (slightly relaxed to work with real-world POP3 clients).
|
|
4. Performance (limited by the more important goals, above).
|
|
|
|
This port is installed to be run from inetd, which is sufficient
|
|
for normal usage. However, it is possible to build a stand-alone
|
|
version, should you need better performance.
