Comparison Table for Minimum System Requirements for VPOP3 and
VPOP3 Enterprise
|
|
|
Because IMAP4 means that messages are stored and manipulated on
the server instead of the client, this means that a VPOP3 Enterprise
email server needs to have much more disk space than a standard
VPOP3 server, and may need to be more powerful as well.
|
|
| |
|
VPOP3 Minimum Systems Requirements
(25 user version) |
VPOP3 |
VPOP3 Enterprise |

VPOP3 Extensions
|
|
VPOP3 has support for extensions which are external programs which
can be plugged-in to VPOP3 to extend and enhance the capabilities
of the VPOP3 software.
The VPOP3 Plugin Pack is a set of utilities which can be used to
enhance and expand the VPOP3 and VPOP3 Enterprise email servers'
functionality for more advanced uses.
The VPOP3 Plugin Pack works with VPOP3 1.3.0 and later, and needs
a 5 user or larger license, it will not work with
the VPOP3 Home User license. The Plugin Pack is included with the
VPOP3 Enterprise software, but is an optional extra for the VPOP3
standard version. For details of the Plug-in Pack
see the main product comparison table above.
VPOP3 Protect is a free VPOP3 extension to scan incoming POP3 messages
for common email viruses/worms and optionally all .VBS attachments
and redirect them to the administrator.
VPOP3PROTECT is not a virus scanner, and should not be used to
replace virus scanning on your network, but it can be used as a
first line of defence against common viruses carried by email.
There are several User Contributed Extensions for VPOP3 donated
by VPOP3 users. These are often supplied with source code so they
can be modified to suit your requirements.
VPOP3 can run external programs at the following times:
-
Whenever a message is downloaded from an ISP POP3 mailbox (External
Router). (This allows for virus scanning, specialised message
routing requirements, message decryption etc).
-
Whenever a message is sent to an external or internal email
address, or when a message is received from an incoming SMTP
mail feed (OutMail Processor). (This allows for virus scanning,
message processing, encryption etc).
-
Whenever a message arrives in a certain VPOP3 mailbox (External
Autoresponder). (This can be used for sending complex autoresponse
messages (simple autoresponders are built into VPOP3), or automatically
linking to databases etc).
-
Whenever VPOP3 connects or disconnects to the Internet. (This
can be used to run other Internet tasks etc).
VPOP3 Extensions can be written in most programming languages,
such as PERL, C/C++, batch file scripting, Visual Basic and Delphi,
etc.
