.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBpproxy\fR 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) deamon
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\&.
