Name¶
pop3 — Gromox POP3 server
Authentication¶
The POP3 server supports impersonation; see imap(8gx) for details.
Synopsis¶
pop3 [-c config]
Options¶
- -c config
- Read configuration directives from the given file. If this option is not specified, /etc/gromox/pop3.cfg will be read if it exists.
- --version
- Output version information and exit.
- -?
- Display option summary.
All time-based command-line options and configuration file directives are subject to the syntax described in gromox(7), section "Duration specifications".
Configuration directives (gromox.cfg)¶
The following directives are recognized when reading from /etc/gromox/gromox.cfg, or when the -c option is used to specify a custom file:
- daemons_fd_limit
- In gromox-pop3, this is treated as an alias for pop3_fd_limit.
- pop3_fd_limit
- Request that the file descriptor table be at least this large. The magic
value 0 indicates that the system default hard limit (rlim_max, cf.
setrlimit(2)) should be used.
Default: 0 - pop3_accept_haproxy
- This directive sets the expectation for incoming connections to carry
haproxy's "PROXY" protocol extension version 2 (2), or no such
header (0). When a (reverse) proxy is placed in front of gromox-pop3, the
address that gxpop3 normally sees is the proxy address (e.g. ::1). A proxy
can use this protocol extension to convey the actual client address, and
gxpop3 can pick this up for its own reporting, which in turn is useful for
e.g. fail2ban setups.
Default: 0
Configuration directives (pop3.cfg)¶
The following directives are recognized when reading from /etc/gromox/pop3.cfg, or when the -c option is used to specify a custom file:
- block_interval_auths
- The amount of time a user is blocked from connecting to the service after
too many failed logins.
Default: 1 minute - config_file_path
- Colon-separated list of directories in which further configuration files,
especially those used by plugin instances, will be searched.
Default: /etc/gromox/pop3:/etc/gromox - context_average_mem
- Default: 256K
- context_average_units
- Lower clamp is 256.
Default: 1024 - context_max_mem
- Default: 2M
- context_num
- Default: 200
- data_file_path
- Colon-separated list of directories in which static data files will be
searched.
Default: /usr/share/gromox/pop3 - enable_capa_implementation
- When enabled, the server will include an "IMPLEMENTATION" line
in the CAPA response (RFC 2449 §6.9). This is disabled by default,
as it can facilitate potential attackers' information gathering.
Default: no - host_id
- A unique identifier for this system. It is used in the POP3 protocol
greeting lines (positive as well as negative). The identifier should only
use characters allowed for hostnames.
Default: (system hostname) - pop3_auth_times
- The number of login tries a user is allowed before the account is blocked.
Default: 3 - pop3_certificate_passwd
- The password to unlock TLS certificates.
Default: (unset) - pop3_certificate_path
- A colon-separated list of TLS certificate files. The complete certificate
chain should be present (as there is no other config directive to pull CA
certs in, and implicit loading from system directories is not guaranteed
by Gromox).
Default: (unset) - pop3_cmd_debug
- Log every incoming POP3 command and the return code of the operation in a
minimal fashion to stderr. Level 1 emits commands that have failed
execution, level 2 emits all commands.
Default: 0 - pop3_conn_timeout
- If a POP3 connection is inactive for the given period, the connection is
terminated.
Default: 3 minutes - pop3_force_tls
- This flag controls whether clients must utilize TLS, either by way of
implicit TLS (cf. pop3_listen_tls_port), or through the STLS
command.
Default: false - pop3_listen_addr
- AF_INET6 socket address to bind the POP3 service to.
Default: :: - pop3_listen_port
- The TCP port to expose the POP3 protocol service on. (The IP address is
fixed to the wildcard address.)
Default: 110 - pop3_listen_tls_port
- The TCP port to expose implicit-TLS POP3 protocol service (POP3S) on. (The
IP address is fixed to the wildcard address.)
Default: (unset) - pop3_log_file
- Target for log messages here. Special values: "-"
(stderr/syslog depending on parent PID) or "syslog" are
recognized.
Default: - (auto) - pop3_log_level
- Maximum verbosity of logging. 1=crit, 2=error, 3=warn, 4=notice, 5=info,
6=debug.
Default: 4 (notice) - pop3_private_key_path
- A colon-separated list of TLS certificate private key files.
Default: (unset) - pop3_support_tls
- This flag controls the offering of TLS modes. This affects both the
implicit TLS port as well as the advertisement of the STARTTLS extension
and availability of the STLS command (RFC 2595) to clients.
Default: false - pop3_thread_charge_num
- Connection load factor (oversubscription ratio) for a processing thread.
Default: 40 - pop3_thread_init_num
- The initial and also minimum number of client processing threads to keep
around. This is similar to php-fpm's start_servers/min_spare_servere. (The
maximum number of threads, i.e. what would be max_spare_servers, is
determined by: context_num divided by imap_thread_charge_num)
Default: 5 - running_identity
- An unprivileged user account to switch the process to after startup. To
inhibit the switch, assign the empty value.
Default: gromox - tls_min_proto
- The lowest TLS version to offer. Possible values are: tls1.0,
tls1.1, tls1.2, and, if supported by the system,
tls1.3.
Default: tls1.2
