i'm sure you could; however, bear in mind that if there's already a
real pop3 server running on the system, this script will not work.
you'd have to disable the real pop3 server and change /var/qmail/
supervise/pop3/run so that it looks something like
exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 9000000 <path/to/bogopop.pl> 2>&1
(i just made that up; i have not verified it! don't take my word for
it!)
:-) I know nothing!
you'd then lose the benefits of running under tcpserver... hm. it
might make more sense to look at what qmail-pop3d does, write a
specific replacement for that (rather than a generic trivial pop3
server), and then put that in the existing supervise script, behind
qmail-popup and tcpserver. on the other hand, you may not want qmail-
popup running if your backup mail server doesn't have access to your
user database.
Yes, it raises questions... Or even if I should bother to run qmail at
all on a backup server? Maybe just postifx to hold the queue and a fake
pop3 server on 110. Hmmm.. Well, won't have time till next week to play
with it probably, gotta go out of town.
By the way, found this, looks like the author has a sense of humor too:
