POP Before SMTP |
Script name: popsmtp.fts
We have implemented a 'Pop before SMTP' function as a script. This function connects to a POP3 server opens a mailbox and then immediately closes it and quits the connection to a POP3 server. This script should be used as a schedule script.
Property |
Description |
ip (required) |
The ip address or name of the POP3 server. |
port (optional) |
The port for the POP3 server, this is assumed to be 110 (the standard POP3 port) unless you enter ths parameter. |
user (required) |
the user name for the POP3 mailbox at the ISP. |
pwd (required) |
the password for the POP3 mailbox at the ISP. |
Go to the Domain|Internet|Connection page.
Enter popsmtp.fts?ip=mail.isp.com&user=fred&pwd=q987df56 into the Execute After Connecting|Script box
Click the button.
Now, whenever the schedule connects the script will execute. The script connects to the server called POP3 mailbox at mail.isp.com and then, immediately, closes it and quits. This should satisfy the SMTP servers requiring a valid POP3 connection for the sender prior to accepting mail for delivery.
