The Lua script is stored in a file called signature.lua text/html 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.pscs.co.uk/reference:smtp_relay?rev=1542192349&do=diff Mail Connectors -> Mail Senders -> SMTP Relay VPOP3 can be configured to send through an SMTP Relay server (sometimes known as a smarthost). This is the usual configuration for small/medium sized businesses and home users. If you have a dial-up, ADSL, Cable, FTTC etc connection, then your Internet Provider will normally give you access to their SMTP relay service. text/html 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.pscs.co.uk/reference:spamfilter_rule_weights?rev=1542192349&do=diff Spamfilter Rule Weights To edit the spamfilter rule weights, go to Settings -> Spamfilter -> General -> Rule Weights The VPOP3 spamfilter contains several rules which test for certain things, eg 'adult words', or entries in real-time blacklist databases, or whitelisted email addresses etc. text/html 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.pscs.co.uk/reference:status?rev=1542192349&do=diff Status The VPOP3 Status screen has two tabs * Server Status * Sessions Server Status The Server Status tab is essentially a copy of the VPOP3 Status Monitor information. * Connection Status - this shows the 'online' status of VPOP3. If it says idle, it does not mean VPOP3 is not working, or not doing anything, it just means that it is not currently sending or collecting mail from the Internet.
