NAME

       spop3d.conf - configuration data for The Solid POP3 Server.

DESCRIPTION

A configuration file consists of zero or more blocks. There are two kinds of these blocks: Global and
VirtualHost. Global block begins with <Global> and ends with </Global> line. VirtualHost block begins
with one of:

lines, where xx.xx.xx.xx is an IPv4 (or IPv6) address and host.name.com is a virtual domain name (read
VIRTUALS file). VirtualHost block ends with </VirtualHost> line. Each such block consists of zero or
more options. Each option is specified in separate line and has 2 parts: option name and option argument,
separated by a white space character (one or more). There are 4 types of options:

boolean
its argument can be "yes" (or "true") and "no" (or "false")

string its argument is string. String should be quoted (read the section BUGS).

period its argument is number which can be followed by one of these suffixes: s (for seconds), m
(for minutes), h (for hours), d (for days), w (for weeks). This argument specifies some
period of time or some number.

expire exactly the same as period, but its argument can also be never.

Every text between /* and */ is treated as a comment and is ignored, unless it's inside quoted string.

Options from all Global and some VirtualHost (when their IPv4 (or IPv6) address is equal to socket
address or their block virtual domain name is equal to virtual domain name specified by user) blocks are
used. Options from left VirtualHost blocks are ignored. Configuration file is parsed two times, if user
specify virtual domain name (read VIRTUALS file).

Following options are recognized:

AllowRootLogin boolean
Allow root login. It's disabled by default and shouldn't be changed.
Debian Note: This option is not available in the Debian package.

UserOverride boolean
Allow users specify their maildrops (path and type) and APOP secrets. It's enabled by
default.

UserMailDropDelimiter string
Specify character used to separate different maildrops for user. If set, user can access
different maildrops, as defined in their ~/.spop3d file, logging as
"user_nameUserMailDropDelimitermaildrop_name" (e.g. user+private, if the
UserMailDropDelimiter is set to +) Default is empty (disables support for multiple
mailboxes per user).

AllowAPOP boolean
Users can authenticate themselves with APOP scheme. It's enabled by default.

MailDropName string
Specify path to maildrop. The format is the same as for -n option in solid-pop3d (8).
Default value is /var/mail/%s

MailDropType string
Specify type of maildrop. The allowed values are mailbox and maildir. Default value is
mailbox (or maildir if support for mailbox isn't compiled in server).

APOPServerName string
Specify the server name which is used for APOP authentication. Default value is a name
obtained from gethostname() call.

AutoLogoutTime period
Specify the autologout time. The server quit when client is idle for specified period.
Default value is 2 minutes.

ChangeGID boolean
If enabled server changes his GID to GID of logged user. It's enabled by default.

WrongCommandsLimit period
Specify the limit of wrong commands. The server quit when this limit is exceeded. Limit is
ignored when 0 is specified. Default value is 5.

ReadExpire expire
Expire read (in this instance of daemon) messages that are older than expire. Default value
is never.

UnreadExpire expire
Expire unread (in this instance of daemon) messages that are older than expire. Default
value is never.

DoMapping boolean
If enabled mapping of user names (read VIRTUALS file) is allowed. Option is disabled by
default.

UserMapFile string
Specify path to user names mapping file (read VIRTUALS file). There is no default value.

UserMapPrefix string
Specify a set of characters which should be prefixed to the username before it is looked up
in the user mapping file.
For example, given a username of "bar", and a UserMapPrefix of "foo-", there should be an
entry in the user mapping file for "foo-bar".
This option has no effect when DoMapping is disabled, and is a blank string by default.

AllowNonIP boolean
If enabled user is allowed to specify virtual domain name in when logging. Read VIRTUALS
file for details. Option is enabled by default.

UserBullFile string
Specify path to user bulletin file (read the section BULLETINS in README). The format is
the same as for -n option in solid-pop3d (8). Default value is .spop3d-bull.

BulletinDirectory string
Specify path to bulletin directory. Default value is /var/lib/solid-pop3d/bulletins.

LogPriority string
Set logging facility and priority. Default value is local0.notice. Known facilities:
daemon, local0, local1, ..., local7, mail, user. Known priorities: emerg, alert, crit,
err, warning, notice, info, debug. facility or facility.priority combination are
recognized.

AddBulletins boolean
Server checks for new bulletins in BulletinDirectory if enabled. Option is enabled by
default.

RequiredMapping boolean
If DoMapping and RequiredMapping are enabled user _MUST_ have entry in user mapping file.
If DoMapping is enabled and RequiredMapping is disabled user needn't have entry in user
mapping file (no mapping is performed then). Option has no effect when DoMapping is
disabled. Option is enabled by default.

AuthMappedUser boolean
Controls whether authentication is performed on the username given by the user, or the
username looked up in the user mapping file.
The option is enabled by default, meaning that the user from the mapping file is used. The
option has no effect when DoMapping is disabled.

LogStatistics boolean
If enabled qpopper-like statistics are logged. At the end of each session username, number
of deleted messages, size (in bytes) of deleted messages, number of messages left on
server, size (in bytes) of messages left on server are logged. Option is enabled by
default.

CreateMailDrop boolean
If enabled maildrop (mailbox or maildir) will be created, when it doesn't exist. Option is
disabled by default.

AllowUser boolean
Allow USER/PASS authentication. This option is enabled by default. It's the standard
method of user authentication and you probably don't need to disable it. You must have at
least one authentication method enabled (AllowUser or AllowAPOP).

WARNINGS

       spop3d.conf should be readable by "spop3d" user!!! The  server  exits  when  syntax  error  occurs  in  a
       configuration file. If a configuration file doesn't exist (stat() failed), the server logs this fact only
       when in debugging mode.
