Recovering messages from corrupted database into fresh database If the VPOP3 message database is corrupted, then one option is to build a fresh database and restore the settings into it, then recover the messages from the old database using the 'Message Restore' function in VPOP3. This has minimal downtime, but old messages will not all be available until the restore has completed. New messages will be available quickly, and you will be able to send messages.

Autoresponder

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00

Autoresponder An autoresponder is a way of automatically replying to messages as they arrive in a user's mailbox. In VPOP3, an incoming message must arrive in a user's mailbox for the autoresponder to trigger. If you use forwards, assistants, mappings, etc to divert a message before it arrives in the mailbox, the autoresponder will never trigger. If you want to use an autoresponder, but not keep the original message, then make sure the message arrives in the mailbox (eg by using an 'Assistant'…

Handling mail for multiple incoming domains VPOP3 can easily handle mail for several incoming domains. Exactly how you do it depends on the exact situation. All domains are 'aliases' If the domains are aliases of each other, for instance, you have 'mycompany.com' and 'mycompany.org', both of which are the same, so each address at mycompany.com also exists at mycompany.org, and the emails go to the same people regardless of which domain is used, then you simply configure the domains in the ma…

Out of Disk Space When Sending Mail

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00

Out of Disk Space When Sending Mail The first thing you should do is check that there is enough free disk space on the disk where VPOP3 is installed. VPOP3 requires a certain amount of free space before it will allow new messages to be sent, so the disk might not be totally full, but VPOP3 will still report that there is insufficient disk space when you try to send a new message. This buffer zone is designed to help prevent the disk totally filling up, which can cause lots of bigger problems!

How To Allow Mail Relay Through VPOP3 If you are allowing remote access into VPOP3 to collect mail then you may also want those remote users to be able to send their outgoing mail through VPOP3 as well.

The ISP needs POP3 before SMTP authentication Some ISPs (especially in Germany) require you to log on to collect your POP3 mail before they will allow you to send any mail through their SMTP relay servers. VPOP3 actually connects to the POP3 server and SMTP server at the same time, so usually it will not have successfully logged onto the ISP's POP3 server before it tries to start sending mail.

Mail Not Downloading From ISP

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-04-06T17:59:47+00:00

Mail Not Downloading From ISP This normally happens because you have told VPOP3 to Leave Messages On Server (on the Mail Connectors -> Mail Collectors -> (name) -> POP3 General tab). If you do this, VPOP3 will leave messages on the ISP's mail server for several days, and remember that it has already downloaded them. Then, the next time it connects it will see that there are some messages waiting, but it may find that it has already downloaded them, so it won't download them again.

Make VPOP3 retry outgoing messages immediately

Outlook not able to connect to VPOP3 Enterprise v6.8 when using SSL/TLS In VPOP3 6.8 SSL v2 is disabled by default (it is considered to be insecure). SSL v3 was released in 1996 and SSL v2 was deprecated because of the well known security flaws. However, it seems that Microsoft Outlook (up to at least Outlook 2010) will not connect to VPOP3 using SSL if VPOP3's SSL v2 is disabled.

Restore a database backup

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2025-12-17T09:19:40+00:00

Restore a database backup By default VPOP3 makes a daily backup of the VPOP3 database to a file 'DBBACK-n.DMP' in the VPOP3 installation directory (it is possible to change this in the settings). These are cycled on a weekly basis so you will usually have the last seven days' worth of backups. These can be useful if the database gets damaged somehow.

Restricting the number of messages sent

Sender Policy Framework / SPF

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00

Sender Policy Framework / SPF SPF is a system used to tell mail servers which IP addresses can send mail from which domains. It is designed to reduce 'spoofing' of email addresses. For instance, if you receive an email message from your bank, your mail software can check that it came from an IP address authorised to send mail from your bank, and treat the message with suspicion if it didn't come from an authorised IP address.

VPOP3 is using a lot of disk space

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00

VPOP3 is using a lot of disk space If VPOP3 is using a lot of disk space, the problem is usually that there is lots of data there, so it has to use the disk space. Message Storage In VPOP3 version 5 and later, all users' messages are stored in the database, so they will occupy space in the VPOP3\pgsql\data folder.

When sending mail, VPOP3 adds 'PRVS=...' to the sender address

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00

When sending mail, VPOP3 adds 'PRVS=...' to the sender address This is because VPOP3 version 5 and later support BATV. BATV helps to eliminate 'backscatter spam', where someone else sends spam pretending to be from you, and then you receive all the bounce messages from those messages. BATV encodes the sender address in a special way so that VPOP3 can detect that a bounce message is in response to a message that you actually sent.

Route incoming POP3 mail by parsing message headers This routing method is generally used if you have a catch-all or 'multi-catch' mailbox with your Internet provider. With this method, VPOP3 will look at the To/Cc and other fields in the message headers to try to work out who the message is for. If the recipient is not listed in the headers (eg for BCCd mail) it may not be able to automatically detect who the message is for.

PostgreSQL Replication

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2019-02-06T17:10:31+00:00

PostgreSQL Replication PostgreSQL 9.1 (used in VPOP3 5 and later) supports replication from a 'Master' to a 'Slave' database server. This can be used with VPOP3 for having a near-realtime backup of your settings & messages. To use the replication, you need to have a file share which is accessible from both PCs. The thing to watch out for is that the PostgreSQL services may be running as a different user from the currently logged in user, so make sure that the user(s) which the PostgreSQL servi…

Require SMTP Authentication There are some situations where VPOP3 needs to know who is sending mail. This may be if you have VPOP3 configured to behave differently depending on who is sending messages - eg if you have different message size limits depending on the sender, or if you have message monitoring configured for certain users, or you don't want certain people to be able to send mail at all.

Sending mail from different email addresses or domains VPOP3 does not (by default) place any restrictions on which email addresses or domains you can send mail from. However, there may be external restrictions on which email addresses/domains you can send from. For instance, if you send mail through your ISP's mail server, they may only allow you to send mail from specific addresses, or the domain you send mail from may have a sender policy defined, such as

The default configuration is that it will send the transmission receipt if the sender asks for a read receipt.

VPOP3 Not Starting Properly If VPOP3 is not starting properly, then the first thing to check is whether the database server is starting. In VPOP3 v3 and later, VPOP3 uses a PostgreSQL Database server for data storage, so if the database server is not running, VPOP3 will not be able to start properly. In this case, the VPOP3.EXE process may appear in Task Manager, but it won't respond to anything, or it may appear in Task Manager and then stop after a short period.
