POP3D Version 1.4
OS/2 POP3 server for IBM's TCP/IP

README
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What it is
==========
POP3D is server which allows workstation to retrieve mail according to
RFC 1725.
POP3D requires OS/2 version 2.0 or later, and IBM's TCP/IP v1.2.1
or later. POP3DC works with superserver inetd.
What it does.
============
POP3D is listening to TCP port 110. When client host wishes to deliver mail,
POP3D checks client's login and password stored in the file "mailaddr".
Put "mailaddr" into the "ETC" directory.
This file also includes list of maildirs. POP3D browses user's directory
and send mail to client.
In this file you should list your server's users. For
example:
#User Directory Password
nobody d:\mail\bad
ai d:\mail\ai andrey
joe d:\mail\joe 123
...
user ai has mail directory d:\mail\ai and password- andrey.
First line in the file indicates the mail directory for bad mail.
Unregistered version supports only 5 users.
File pop3d.log includes log information. pop3d.exe creates this file
automaticaly.
Working with sendmail.exe
==============================
POP3D works with sendmail.exe. Unfortunely, sendmail.exe can not
put mail into different directory. Mailstr.exe copies files from
standart input into user's directory.
You must edit local mailer section in the file "sendmail.cf":
####################################################################
Mlocal, P=d:\pop3d\mailsrt.exe, F=lsDFP, S=10, R=20, A=d:\tcpip\etc $u
####################################################################
A=d:\tcpip\etc -path to file "mailaddr"
NOTE: You must use an editor that preserves TAB characters. Do NOT use
the EPM or TEDIT editors that come with OS/2 - they expand TABs
into spaces and will cause the configuration file to be useless.
The E editor is OK. Make copy sendmail.cf befor editing!
You could check mailsrt run
type filename|mailsrt.exe d:\tcpip\etc user
d:\tcpip\etc- path to file mailaddr.
mailsrt.exe copies filename into user's directory.
How to manage it
=================
Just run this program
pop3d
NEW! Working with inetd
========================
To use the POP server with inetd, one line must be added to
\tcpip\etc\inetd.lst:
pop tcp pop3dc
NOTE: Not pop3d, pop3dc!
That's all, then you have to restart inetd.
Price
============
POP3D price depends on user account:
Users: 16 32 64 128 256 1024 2048
Price: $20 $25 $30 $40 $50 $60 $70
Registration
============
For registration your copy run:
poprgstr.exe <YourNumber> <UserCount> <YourFullName>
Here
YourNumber - unique number received after payment.
UserCount - maximum user count
YourFullName - your name
For example:
poprgstr.exe 123456 32 Andrey Iliynikh
Now BMT Micro is registering the POP3D. File bmt.frm includes registration form.
