Change passwords remotely using the poppassd service

P o p p a s s d S e r v i c e

The Virtual Servers support "poppass" service, the Eudora change password server. Using the poppass service, users of the virtual POP server can automatically change their POP passwords from inside their Eudora mail clients or other mail clients that support the Eudora password changing mechanism.

Installing the poppassd Service
The service requires no installation on the virtual server -- it has already been installed and is ready for use. Simply select the "Change Password" option from the menu of your compliant mail client to access the poppassd feature.
