pproxy(1)                                                            pproxy(1)


NAME

       pproxy - A POP3 proxy server


SYNOPSIS

       pproxy [--help] [--version] [-l FILE, --logfile FILE] [-r DIR, --rundir
       DIR]


DESCRIPTION

       pproxy is a POP3 proxy. It will wait for username and password from the
       POP3 client and authenticate the user. It will then ask the pcheckd(8)
       deamon on the POP3 server whether the mailbox is empty. If it is empty
       it will keep talking to the client, "simulating" the empty mailbox. If
       there is mail in the mailbox it will connect to the pserv(8) POP-
       Server, tell it which mailbox to open and then just forward data back
       and forth between the client and the server.

       For details see the POPular manual.
