NAME

pop_auth - set an user’s APOP secret

SYNOPSIS

pop_auth [-a] [ ! | name ...]

DESCRIPTION

Pop_auth asks user for his APOP secret and stores this secret after encryption in ˜/.spop3d file. Used encryption is very weak and protects only from curious system administrator who accidentialy looks at ˜/.spop3d file. Don’t use your account password as the APOP secret!!!

Pop_auth will set APOP secret for all maildrop name s specified in the command line. You can use the special ! name to specify your default maildrop. If called without any arguments, pop_auth will set APOP secret for the default maildrop.
