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.

For general Lua programming instructions see www.lua.org for documentation. Note that if you use the print command in Lua, VPOP3 will write the output to the Lua.out file, it won't appear directly on screen.

Please note - the only help we will give with Lua with our free support is to clarify the Lua interface (eg function signatures etc), we will not give help with Lua in general or help you to write or debug your own Lua scripts. We can help with that, but it will be on a chargeable basis depending on the complexity of the issue. Contact us for more information.
