The server is easily configurable +and has support for few features such as: + +- APOP authentication scheme +- virtual hosting +- maildir and mailbox handling +- bulletins +- expiration of messages + +Each user can specify his maildrop (its position and type). The format used in +specification of maildrop's position should handle almost all widely-used +system configurations. The server also seems to be fast, however no tests have +been performed, so it's rather relative feeling. The design used is very +similar to the design of Solar Designer's POPA3D server. This solution let's +minimalize size of code working with root privileges. The code was also heavily +checked for buffer overflow leaks and file races. None have been found as for +now. All operations on files are done with user privileges. There is no SUID +APOP secrets database management program (as in QPOP). Each user can specify +his secret in his own home directory. + +WWW: http://solidpop3d.pld.org.pl/ |
