It is a non-standard extension to POP, supported in some POP client and 
server implementations. It provides an authenticated alternative to open 
SMTP posting.

The current standard for authenticated posting is the AUTH command, coming 
into support on clients and servers.  Note that email posting is now a 
separate standard (SUBMIT) from email relaying (SMTP) event though their 
core protocol engine is currently the same.
