dbmail-pop3d
NAME
dbmail-pop3d - POP3 daemon providing Post Office Protocol, POP3, as specified in RFC 1939.
SYNOPSIS
dbmail-pop3d [--config configfile] [--pidfile pidfile]
dbmail-pop3d [--config configfile] [--pidfile pidfile] --no-daemon
dbmail-pop3d [--config configfile] [--pidfile pidfile] --inetd
DESCRIPTION
The dbmail-pop3d daemon is a fully featured POP3 server.
OPTIONS
- -p, --pidfile pidfile
-
Specify an alternate pid file. By default the daemons use dbmail-<daemon>.pid for their pid files, saving them in the directory specified by the pid_directory entry in dbmail.conf or if that does not exist the value set by the configuration option --localstatedir, and will halt if the pid file cannot be written. Use the -p pidfile option to place the pid file in your system’s preferred location.
- -n, --no-daemon
-
No daemonize: inetd mode. The program remains attached to the console from which it was started and will read and write on stdin/stdout. This is useful for debugging when combined with the -v option. It is also used for running from (x)inetd.
- -D, --inetd
-
No daemonize: The program remains attached to the console and will listen on the network sockets defined in dbmail.conf. This is mostly used for xinetd (Extended Internet Service Daemon)
COMMON OPTIONS
- -f, --config configfile
-
Specify an alternate config file.
Use dbmail-<utility> --help to show the default location. - -q, --quiet
-
Quietly skip interactive prompts and helpful status messages which would otherwise be printed to stdout. Use two -q’s to silence errors which would otherwise be printed to stderr.
- -v, --verbose
-
Operate verbosely. Some of the utilities in the DBMail suite can take two -v’s for extra verbosity. Those which don’t understand this convention won’t complain about having the extra -v and will simply operate at their normal verbosity.
- -V, --version
-
Show the version and copyright, then exit.
- -h, --help
-
Show a brief summary of options, then exit.
