Features

  1. Runs stand-alone.
  2. Less than 2200 LOC:
    • very small and compact, easy to modify
    • statistically seen, less bugs than other software with the same functionality
  3. IPv6 ready (currently untested)
  4. No root exploits possible: the server only runs as root during authentication and the authentication routines are designed to be secure.
  5. All temporary files are created securely.
  6. Allows POP3-over-SSL (based on OpenSSL): secure POP3 sessions are possible through this feature, which is supported by most of the common MUAs.
