Syntax: | pop3_capabilities |
---|---|
Default: |
|
Context: | mail , server |
Sets the POP3 protocol extensions list that is passed to the client in response to the CAPA
command. The authentication methods specified in the pop3_auth directive (SASL extension) and STLS are automatically added to this list depending on the starttls directive value.
It makes sense to specify the extensions supported by the POP3 backends to which the clients are proxied (if these extensions are related to commands used after the authentication, when nginx transparently proxies the client connection to the backend).
The current list of standardized extensions is published at www.iana.org .
