It occurs if some other software running on the same machine as VPOP3 is using one of the ports that VPOP3 is already using.

What is PostgreSQL? PostgreSQL is an SQL database engine. VPOP3 and PostgreSQL In VPOP3 2.x, VPOP3 uses a database engine called SQLite for its database needs. SQLite has limited locking facilities, so on busy systems we encountered problems where databases would need very frequent updates, and the lock limitations would cause the updates to take a long time. For this reason we added optional support for PostgreSQL to later versions of VPOP3 2.x.

Configure SRS In VPOP3 8.8 and later, you can use Lua scripting to implement 'SRS' (Sender Rewriting Scheme') in VPOP3 This involves adding a couple of functions to rewrite outgoing return paths in 'relayout.lua' or 'mxout.lua' as appropriate and a couple of functions to redirect rewritten bounce message recipients in 'smtpsvr.lua'

How to Create a Connection

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

How to Create a Connection 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.

How to tell VPOP3 that some users in the local domain are not to be handled by VPOP3 In some situations you will have a situation where most of your users are handled by VPOP3, but several users will collect their mail directly from a separate POP3 account on your ISP, even though they may have an email address on the same domain as other users.

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!

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.

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.

Almost all email client programs (such as Microsoft Outlook & Outlook Express, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc) can collect mail using POP3. With POP3, mail is usually downloaded by the email client and stored on the user's local PC. It is then deleted from the mail server, so the only copy is on the user's PC. Any mail folders etc are all managed on the user's PC.

Message Archive -> Offline Tab

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

Message Archive -> Offline Tab Settings -> Message Archive -> Offline Tab. The Offline tab lets you tell VPOP3 to move old archived messages to an alternative store, such as CD/DVD or external drive etc. VPOP3 will create a ZIP file containing the old messages. The archive index will still remember the messages, and the name of the ZIP file they are contained in, so you will still be able to search for messages on date, sender, subject, etc, but not on the message content.

Archive Script

Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) — 2023-03-25T23:33:31+00:00

Archive Script (from VPOP3 v6 onwards) Archive scripting lets you indicate whether full message content should be stored in the message archive. This could be used, for instance, for filtering out messages containing credit card details. The message headers will still be archived, along with the explanation text returned by the script.

Database -> Message Store Tab

Database -> Message Store Tab This tab says how VPOP3 handles its message store Message Store The Delay while moving messages setting tells VPOP3 how quickly to import messages into the new database structure if it was upgraded from version 2.x or earlier. Usually this is OK to be left as it is, but if there is some special requirement to import the messages more quickly, you can decrease this number, but that will increase the load on the server.

We do not guarantee that the database schema will remain constant, even between minor upgrade versions, so use this information at your own risk.

DMARC Reporter Script (from VPOP3 v8.6 onwards) This script lets you customise how VPOP3 sends DMARC reports to the sending domain. 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

Message Archive The Message Archive facility is for VPOP3 to store copies of all messages sent or received. It stores the messages in a central archive store which can be searched by an administrator. The prime purpose of the archive facility is for recording messages in case of possible disputes, as you can see what was sent/received by email. It can also be used as a backup/restore facility in an emergency, but that is not its prime purpose, so it is better to have a proper
