Package: fakepop (10)

fake pop3 daemon. delivers same messages to all users

fakepop is a fake pop3 daemon. It returns always the same messages to all users, it does not care about usernames and passwords. All user/pass combinations are accepted.

The main purpose of fakepop is to advice users that your server only accepts pop3-ssl and they have wrongly configured pop3 without ssl. You can customize messages in /etc/fakepop/ directory to teach your users how they should configure their mail clients to use pop3-ssl instead of pop3.

WARNING: some pop3-ssl daemons require a pop3 non-ssl package to be installed. That is why fakepop does not conflicts with pop3-server. courier-pop-ssl is one of this packages (it requires courier-pop). Before installing fakepop, be sure to disable other pop3 daemons. For courier, set POP3DSTART=NO in /etc/courier/pop3d
