For VPOP3 to monitor outbound messages it needs to be able to work out that the message is FROM:
a user whose mail should be monitored. To do this it has to examine the FROM:
address in the message header.
If the message is FROM: fred@domain.com
, VPOP3 will look to see if fred@domain.com
is a local user or not.
Monitor All Outbound Messages
, VPOP3 will check the Local Domains
setting on the Local Mail
tab to see if it contains the domain.com
entryMonitor Selected Outbound Messages
, VPOP3 will check the Local Domains
as above, and it will also look for a VPOP3 user called Fred
, which must have the Monitor Messages
option enabled.
Note: if you use some form of SMTP authentication (either POP3 before SMTP authentication or full SMTP authentication), then VPOP3 will use the login name to decide whether it should monitor the message, instead of using the FROM:
address. (n.b. some email clients do not support SMTP authentication)
