 If you have an incoming SMTP mail feed, then the mail server sending mail to you will connect to your VPOP3 computer to send the mail. The mail connection is controlled by the sending computer.
-If you have a permanent Internet connection with a static IP address, the usual way of having incoming SMTP is to configure your DNS 'MX' records to point to your external IP address. In this case, there are no changes needed to a normal VPOP3 configuration to allow this to work. You do NOT need to configure an //SMTP Mail Collector// in VPOP3. See [[how_to:incoming_smtp_feed|Incoming SMTP Feed]] for more information.
