>From the qmail-popup man page:
qmail-popup expects descriptor 0 to read from the network
and descriptor 1 to write to the network. It reads a
username and password from descriptor 0 in POP's USER-PASS
style or APOP style. It invokes subprogram, with the same
descriptors 0 and 1; descriptor 2 writing to the network;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm curious as to why this is done.
In particular, stderr output from the subprogram is
being fed back to the client, which is probably
expecting a pop3 +OK/-ERR response, rather than
whatever happens to be sent down stderr at the time.
Wouldn't it be better to leave stderr alone, so that
it could be fed to logger/splogger/multilog?
