Description:
Qpopper is an implementation of the widely-used POP3 protocol for
downloading Internet email. POP3 is understood by many popular
e-mail clients, including numerous Macintosh, Windows, and MS-DOS
clients. The server was developed at the University of California
at Berkeley and conforms fully to the specifications in RFC 1939.
Popper has been adopted by folks at QUALCOMM, Inc. and is now
known as qpopper.
Qopper does not include a message transfer agent or SMTP support.
It normally works with standard UNIX mail transfer agents such
as sendmail or smail.
