* * * aPOP3d v1.10 - Email server package for OS/2 * * *
If you have a Warp- or Merlin-based 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
- POP3 server supports INETd
- POP3 server uses multiple threads for multiple simultaneous users if
it runs without INETd
- POP3 server supports all POP3 commands and extended POP3 commands
(except APOP)
- 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 program is non-PM which means it can be
executed in Telnet sessions; it provides a lot of information about users
- uses IBM Sendmail as SMTP server (needed)
