- popmail <subcommands>
-
- The following popmail subcommands describe how to configure a POP2
- or POP3 client daemon. A Jnos POP server host need only 'start' the
- pop2 or pop3 daemon, and configure the popusers file, to make his
- system accessible to pop clients.
-
-
- popmail addserver <host> [<seconds>] [hh:mm-hh:mm] <protocol>
- <mailbox> <username> [<password>]
-
- Add hostP as a pop server. When seconds is given, a timer is
- started to query the host with that interval for mail. If not
- specified no querying to the pop host will be started. You have
- to do that manually with a kick. When hh:mm is given then only
- in that exact timeframe are queries to the host made (allowed).
- Protocol is either POP2 or POP3, depending on the mail service
- the host is providing.
-
- Note: pop2 is superceded by pop3.
-
- Mailbox is the mailbox name on the local host where mail is to be
- stored.
-
- Username and password are this system's validation parameters for
- the host. If password is omitted, it is obtained from the console.
-
- Note: On entering this command the host name is looked up. If
- nonexistent, an error message is displayed.
-
-
- popmail dropserver <host>
-
- Drops host from the list of pop servers to be queried. All
- references to the entry are deleted from the current system.
-
-
- popmail kick <host>
-
- Starts a pop session with host to retrieve mail. This command is
- needed when no interval is specified with the popmail addserver
- command.
-
-
- popmail list
-
- Lists the current popmail server table.
-
-
- popmail quiet <yes|NO>
-
- Enables or disables the inclusion of a beep in the message that
- new mail arrived at this system via pop. See 'popmail trace'
- below, to enable the printing of a new-mail-arrived message.
-
-
- popmail trace <level> Default: 1
-
- Displays or sets the trace level of pop sessions. Current trace
- levels are:
-
- 0 - No tracing
- 1 - Serious errors reported
- 2 - Transient errors reported
- 3 - session progress reported
-
- Note that tracing only goes to the log file, and that a non-zero
- trace value also causes a "new mail arrived" message to be displayed
- on the console.
-
-
- popmail lzw [off | ON]
-
- Displays or sets the LZW compression enable flag.
