Gnus just calls (in most or all? cases) movemail to get the mail out of the
spool. Movemail comes with emacs, but doesn't seem to be documented
anywhere. From a comment in movemail.c (under as lib-scr/movemail.c in the
emacs source distribution):
/*
* Modified January, 1986 by Michael R. Gretzinger (Project Athena)
*
* Added POP (Post Office Protocol) service. When compiled -DPOP
* movemail will accept input filename arguments of the form
* "po:username". This will cause movemail to open a connection to
* a pop server running on $MAILHOST (environment variable). Movemail
* must be setuid to root in order to work with POP.
That's about it. This really should be documented somewhere, if not in the
Gnus docs then at least in the emacs manual.
