Lua Scripting

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2026-03-26T23:49:01+00:00

Lua Scripting Lua is a simple scripting programming language often used for embedding in other applications. VPOP3 uses it to customise behaviour in places where most people will be happy with the default behaviour, but occasionally people will want to do something more complicated. Rather than having lots of extra options to complicate things for most users, we have opted to go for a more flexible scripting facility.

SMTP Server Lua Scripting

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2025-05-08T08:23:35+00:00

SMTP Server Lua Scripting The SMTP Server Lua Script is called SMTPSVR.LUA and can be edited from the Settings -> Scripts page in the VPOP3 settings. This script is called whenever an instance of the VPOP3 SMTP server is launched - ie whenever someone opens a connection to port 25 on the VPOP3 server to send it a message, whether from a local user or an incoming SMTP message.

Management Scripting

This script affects how VPOP3 will handle how messages

Scheduling Management Scripts

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

This can be useful in case the sending domain's DMARC configuration is incorrect as that can cause errors sending the reports or cause messages to be 'stuck' in VPOP3's Outqueue. These problems won't cause any lasting damage, but may be inconvenient or annoying, so you can alter the behaviour using Lua scripting
