* * * aPOP3d v1.20 - Email server package for OS/2 * * *
If you have a "Warped" system connected to the Internet and want it to
act as a mail server for any number of users this package is all you need!
The most important features are:
- central user database (USER.INI) for all user- and program-relevant
information
- user administration compatible with aDialIn package (dial-in server)
- received email may be forwarded to another email address, kept or removed
- notification feature will send a standard reply to the sender
of every incoming email. This is especially useful if you are unable
to answer incoming emails personally at this time (e.g. during your
vacation).
- loop detection for both the email forwarding and notification feature
- automatic mail processor allows you to perform certain actions (like
password change, activate/stop email forward, activate/stop sender
notification) by sending an email to a "special" user
(e.g. "mail-processor@hostdomain.com") on the aPOP3d host.
The mail processor will send a confirmation email as response immediately
- emails address to non-existing users may be either rejected or stored
in the mailbox of an existing user
- POP3 server supports INETd
- POP3 server uses multiple threads for multiple simultanous users if
it runs without INETd
- POP3 server supports all POP3 commands and extented POP3 commands
(except APOP and XMIT)
- passwords are stored encrypted (modified DES)
- emails are stored encrypted (modified DES) if their size is less
than a specified figure
- incoming emails may be rejected if the user's mailbox would
exceed a specified limit. Limits may be specified as default for
all users or user-specific
- user & program administration programm is non-PM which means it can be
executed in Telnet sessions; it provides a lot of information about users
- enhanced POP3 client included; In "collect" mode for each user a remote
POP3 account (e.g. the POP3 server of your ISP) may be defined separately
from which it will fetch all mails and stores them on your local system
for retrieval by local users. In "collect & parse" mode it will fetch
emails from one remote POP3 account for all lcoal users and parses the
mail header to determine the receipent. According to either the real name
or the username of the receipent the mail will be stored in the users
mailbox.
- uses IBM Sendmail as SMTP server (needed)
The aPOP3d package is being used on a daily basis to serve about 90
students (including myself) with email. This has given me a lot of
feedback which I have used to implement features needed in a real life
email comunication.
A lot features in the feature list are not available in any other email
server package for OS/2!
