 We recommend that the VPOP3\pgsql\data folder is excluded from any virus scanning. That is because if any of the data files in these directories contain anything which the virus scanner considers suspicious it may delete or quarantine a database file, and thus trash the database completely, needing a database restore from a backup, and probably losing some messages.
-Desktop virus scanners often have email virus scanning capability. These often cause problems if run on a mail server itself (that is not what they are designed to do). We recommend that if you encounter any problems with sending or receiving mail, you turn off the email scanning part of the virus scanner on the VPOP3 computer to see if that is the problem. If it is, then you can use one of our integrated virus scanners such as **[[http://www.pscs.co.uk/products/vpop3av/pricelist.php|avast! for VPOP3]]**, use a third party virus scanner specifically designed to run on a mail server, or rely on the virus scanner on the users' PCs.

 Some virus scanners include a firewall/Internet security component. If you use one of these, then you need to be prepared to configure the firewall to allow VPOP3 to act as a service for your network. We cannot provide support for this (except for the standard Windows firewall) as part of our free email support service. You should contact your antivirus/firewall vendor for help, or use one of [[http://www.pscs.co.uk/helpdesk/purchase.php|our paid support options]].

 VPOP3 does periodic backups of the database (by default into the main VPOP3 folder), so backing up those database backups is sufficient to allow you to restore the database to the time of the latest database backup.
+====Disk Quotas====
+If the computer running VPOP3 has 'disk quotas' set, make sure that both the account which the VPOP3 service runs as (default 'Local System') and the PostgreSQL database runs as (default 'postgres') have sufficient space to store their data.
+If the 'postgres' user's quota runs out, then incoming messages may be lost as VPOP3 has nowhere to store them.
