Understanding POP3 Scanning Parent topic

The IMSVA POP3 scanner acts as a proxy server (positioned between mail clients and POP3 servers) to scan messages as the clients retrieve them.
To scan POP3 traffic, configure your email clients to connect to the IMSVA server POP3 proxy, which connects to POP3 servers to retrieve and scan messages.
You can set up the following connection types:
  • Generic: Allows you to access different POP3 servers using the same port, typically 110, the default port for POP3 traffic.
  • Dedicated: Accesses the POP3 server using a specified port. Use these connections when the POP3 server requires authentication using a secure logon, such as APOP or NTLM.
