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:
|
|
|
|
- APOP authentication scheme
|
|
- virtual hosting
|
|
- maildir and mailbox handling
|
|
- bulletins
|
|
- 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 privileges. There is no SUID APOP secrets database
|
|
management program (as in QPOP). Each user can specify his secret in his
|
|
own home directory.
