Post Office Protocol (POP) se opisuje kao protokol unutar oblasti računarskih mreža i Interneta, koji se koristi za ekstrakciju i preuzimanje email-a sa udaljenog mail servera, čineći ga dostupnim na lokalnom uređaju. Pozicioniran unutar aplikacione sloja OSI modela, ovaj protokol omogućava korisnicima da preuzmu i prime email. Rad POP klijenata obično uključuje uspostavljanje veze sa mail serverom, preuzimanje svih poruka, čuvanje ovih poruka lokalno na klijentskom sistemu, i naknadno uklanjanje sa servera. Iako postoje tri iteracije ovog protokola, POP3 se izdvaja kao najčešće korišćena verzija.

Beleženje Lozinki
POP serveri sa podešavanjem auth_debug omogućavaju povećanje generisanih logova. Međutim, ako su auth_debug_passwords ili auth_verbose_passwords postavljeni na true, lozinke mogu biti beležene u čistom tekstu u tim logovima.

Description: Notes for POP
Note: |
Post Office Protocol (POP) is described as a protocol within the realm of computer networking and the Internet, which is utilized for the extraction and retrieval of email from a remote mail server**, making it accessible on the local device. Positioned within the application layer of the OSI model, this protocol enables users to fetch and receive email. The operation of POP clients typically involves establishing a connection to the mail server, downloading all messages, storing these messages locally on the client system, and subsequently removing them from the server. Although there are three iterations of this protocol, POP3 stands out as the most prevalently employed version.
