- The Solid POP3 Server is an implementation of a Post Office Protocol
- version 3 server that has flexibility as its main goal. The server is
- easily configurable and has support for few features such as:
- o APOP authentication scheme
- o Virtual hosting
- o Maildir and mailbox handling
- o Bulletins
- o 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.
