Synopsis
When
using the pop
delivery agent, actual delivery is
via the spop(8) program, which provides a way to
perform local delivery for any user that does not have a local Unix
account. This is handy in a POP universe where it is often
undesirable for thousands of POP clients to also have local accounts.
It is also useful at sites where security concerns prevent POP-only
users from also having Unix accounts.
Support is included in your mc configuration file like this:
MAILER(`local')← define this MAILER(`pop')← before this
Note that the local
delivery agent must be defined
before you can define pop
.
The defaults for the pop
delivery agent are shown
in Table 20-11, along with the
mc configuration macros used to alter those
defaults.
