- The \fIpopd\fR server implements the Post Office protocol,
- as described in RFC819 (revised, \fIMH\fR internal).
- Basically, the server listens on TCP port 109 for connections and enters the
- POP upon establishing a connection.
- The `\-p' option overrides the default TCP port.

- Previous versions of the server (10/28/84) had the restriction that
- the POP client may retrieve messages for login users only.
- This restriction has been lifted,
- and true POB support is available
- (sending mail to a mailbox on the POP service host
- which does not map to a user\-id in the password file).
