POP3 server process

[ -s ] [ -k ] [ -p ssf ]
pop3d is an POP3 server. It accepts commands on its standard input and responds on its standard output. It MUST be invoked by master(8) with those descriptors attached to a remote client connection.
pop3d reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.
If the directory log/user exists under the directory specified in the configdirectory configuration option, then pop3d will create protocol telemetry logs for sessions authenticating as user.
The telemetry logs will be stored in the log/user directory with a filename of the pop3d process-id.
pop3d is commonly included in the SERVICES section of cyrus.conf(5) like so:
SERVICES {
imap cmd="imapd -U 30" listen="imap" prefork=0
imaps cmd="imapd -s -U 30" listen="imaps" prefork=0 maxchild=100
pop3 cmd="pop3d -U 30" listen="pop3" prefork=0
pop3s cmd="pop3d -s -U 30" listen="pop3s" prefork=0 maxchild=100
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp" prefork=0 maxchild=20
sieve cmd="timsieved" listen="sieve" prefork=0
notify cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/notify" proto="udp" prefork=1
httpd cmd="httpd" listen=8080 prefork=1 maxchild=20 }
