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Note: pop2 is superceded by pop3.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.
