J-POP Server allows remote users to retrieve email from your computer using
the standard Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3). This Server is entirely
written in Java, which means that it will run on ANY system that supports
Java 1.0.2 or higher.
Additional security is build-in. J-POP can be configured to deny access to all
internet hosts except those explicitly allowed. J-POP also supports the APOP
authentication mechanism so that users don't have to send their passwords over
the network.
J-POP comes with a graphical user interface (GUI) for management of the
server. This makes easy to add and delete users, and control the various
features of J-POP. Through this GUI, an administrator can add, delete and
modify users, change configuration options on the server, and update which
hosts are allowed to access the server. After making changes through the GUI,
there is no need to restart the server, it detects these changes
automatically.
Complies with all of the Internet Engineering Task Force's (IETF)
specifications for POP3. This includes RFC1939, RFC1725, RFC1460, RFC1225, and
RFC1081.
All optional POP3 commands specified in RFC1939 are supported, and can be
individually enabled or disabled. This gives you control over how the server
interacts with clients. The supplied documentation describes each of these
options in detail.
Included with J-POP is the QYPMAIL archive, which allows an OS/2 system to act
as a multi-user mail server. QYPMAIL sorts incoming mail into user's mailboxes
as it comes in, so that it is then ready for retrieval with J-POP.
Unregistered version supports up to 5 users. Registered version supports an
unlimited number of users.
J-POP can be obtained from BMT Micro.
