# The net/pop3gwd port

## pop3gwd-1.2p0 – app-level proxy for mail retrieval behind firewalls

## Description

    This program is an application-level gateway, or proxy, designed to allow
    mail retrieval from POP3 servers by systems that either:

            (a) are behind a firewall or screening router OR
            (b) do not have an assigned IP number OR
            (c) must share a SLIP/PPP connection on another system

    It connects to the POP3 server on behalf of the client, performs the login
    and then passes data both ways until either the client or the server shut
    down the connection. In the meanwhile, the connection will appear to have
    originated on the host running the proxy.
