3.16.4 Pop3d Configuration

The following configuration file statements affect the behavior of pop3d.

Pop3d Conf: tls-mode mode ¶

Configure the use of TLS encryption for inetd mode.

In daemon mode, this statement sets the type of TLS encryption to use in all server blocks that lack the tls-mode statement (see The server Statement).

Allowed values for mode are:

no

TLS is not used. The STLS command won’t be available even if the TLS configuration is otherwise complete.

ondemand

TLS is initiated when the user issues the appropriate command. This is the default when TLS is configured.

required

Same as above, but the use of TLS is mandatory. The authentication state is entered only after TLS negotiation has succeeded.

connection

TLS is always forced when the connection is established (POP3S protocol).
