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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- 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.
