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.
This is more complex than allowing users to collect mail, because, by default, SMTP connections are not authenticated. This means that when someone tries to send a message through VPOP3, VPOP3 doesn't know who that user is. This can cause a problem if unauthorised users try to send mail through…text/html2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)Outlook/Windows Messaging reports "No transport provider is available"

There are two ways that VPOP3 can be configured to connect to the Internet. Which one you use depends on the service provided by your ISP.
Using a Permanent 'Always On' Connection
This is the most common connection method. It assumes you are connecting to the Internet via a router which is permanently connected. In this scenario VPOP3 simply needs to connect to the router so setting up VPOP3 is very simple.text/html2018-11-14T10:45:49+00:00Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com)How to create a Mail Sender

Message Downloads Not Completing
The normal reason for message downloads not completing is that a third-party antivirus program is scanning the messages and getting stuck at some point.
We recommend that the first thing you do is to temporarily disable the email scanning part of any antivirus program or Internet Security software on the VPOP3 computer (other than those integrated fully with VPOP3 - i.e. 'avast! for VPOP3' or 'Sophos SAV Interface').
