The Solid POP3 Server is an implementation of a Post Office
|
|
Protocol version 3 server that has flexibility as its main
|
|
goal. The server is easily configurable and has support for
|
|
few features such as:
|
|
|
|
o APOP authentication scheme
|
|
o Virtual hosting
|
|
o Maildir and mailbox handling
|
|
o Bulletins
|
|
o Expiration of messages
|
|
|
|
Each user can specify his maildrop (its position and type).
|
|
The format used in specification of maildrop's position
|
|
should handle almost all widely-used system configurations.
|
|
The server also seems to be fast, however no tests have been
|
|
performed, so it's rather relative feeling. The design used
|
|
is very similar to the design of Solar Designer's POPA3D
|
|
server. This solution let's minimalize size of code working
|
|
with root privileges. The code was also heavily checked for
|
|
buffer overflow leaks and file races. None have been found
|
|
as for now. All operations on files are done with user priv-
|
|
ileges. There is no SUID APOP secrets database management
|
|
program (as in QPOP). Each user can specify his secret in
|
|
his own home directory.
