fakepop
fakepop is a POP3 server with a difference - there
is never any mail. Any user name and password is
accepted, and the mailboxes are always empty. It can be
used during system maintenance to keep people happy while
you re-engineer your actual POP3 server. It runs from
inetd (or xinetd).
redirproxy is packaged with fakepop and
also runs from inetd (or xinetd). redirproxy
should receive connections that have been redirected with
iptables DNAT. If it is possible to connect to the
original destination, it will do so, and transparently
relay the connection. A script can be run when the
connection is initiated, and when the connection is shut
down. If the connection cannot be established, redirproxy
runs the configured application, e.g. fakepop.
About Audience: Linux system administrators
Requires: Linux and not much else
