DESCRIPTION

     popper serves mail via the Post Office Protocol.  Supported options in-
     clude:

     -a none|otp, --auth-mode=none|otp
             tells popper what authentication modes are acceptable, passing

             create a socket by itself

     -k, --kerberos
             tells popper to use the Kerberos for authentication.

     -p port, --port=port
             port to listen to, in combination with -i

     -t file, --trace-file=file
             trace all commands to file
