NAME
     pproxy - A POP3 proxy server

SYNOPSIS
     pproxy  [--help]  [--version]  [-l  FILE, --logfile FILE] [-r DIR, --rundir
     DIR]

DESCRIPTION
     pproxy is a POP3 proxy. It will wait for username	and  password  from  the
     POP3 client and authenticate the user. It will then ask the pcheckd(8) dea-
     mon on the POP3 server whether the mailbox is empty. If it is empty it will
     keep  talking  to	the  client, "simulating" the empty mailbox. If there is
     mail in the mailbox it will connect to the  pserv(8)  POP-Server,	tell  it
     which mailbox to open and then just forward data back and forth between the
     client and the server.

     For details see the POPular manual.
