# Copyright 2010 - 2020 Marcus Bointon
# Based on code by 'Frater' found at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/fake-pop3-server-to-capture-pop3-passwords-933733
# Does not actually serve any mail, but supports commands sufficient to test POP-before SMTP
# Can be run directly from a shell like this:
# mkfifo fifo; nc -l 1100 <fifo |./fakepopserver.sh >fifo; rm fifo
# It will accept any user name and will return a positive response for the password 'test'
