NAME
     nullpop - a POP3 server that allows any login and never contains email.

SYNOPSIS
     nullpop [-t timeout]

DESCRIPTION
     nullpop is a POP3 server that allows logins, but never returns any email.
     This is useful for certain setups where the user needs an 'account' setup
     in their mail client, but no real mail will ever be received.

     nullpop is invoked through the internet server, inetd(8).  Use a line
     like this in your /etc/services file:

           pop3  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/local/libexec/nullpop nullpop

     There is no authentication. Any user name and password are accepted. If
     SSL is required, use stunnel to wrap the TCP connection.

OPTIONS
     -t          The timeout for connections.
