====POP3 & webmail HTTP====

Please refer to the Email Howto: http://wiki.contribs.org/Email
*I want to set my SMESERVER to allow POP3 (or webmail HTTP) but it's not an option, I only see POP3S (or webmail HTTPS).
  −
The SMESERVER is secure by design. POP3 (or webmail HTTP) is viewed as inadequate security and removed as an option from a standard installation to encourage unknowing administrators to select the 'best practice' option -a secure connection with POP3S, IMAPS, or HTTPS.

  −
You can still set your SMESERVER to allow POP3 settings by:
  −
config setprop pop3 access public
  −
signal-event email-update

====Real-time Blackhole List (RBL)====
  −
*How do I enable RBL's?
  −
RBL's are disabled by default to allow maximum accommodation (your ISP may be on a RBL & you may not know it). You can enable RBL's by:
  −
config setprop qpsmtpd DNSBL enabled RHSBL enabled
  −
signal-event email-update

====Spam Filters====
  −
*I seem to get more spam from a SERVER-ONLY box compared to a SERVER-GATEWAY box.
  −
Some of the spam filter rules cannot work unless the SMESERVER knows the external IP of the box. If you put a SMESERVER in server-only mode behind other firewalls, it will lose some of the anti-spam rules.  For example, the rule that blocks attempts where spammers try "HELO a.b.c.d" where a.b.c.d is your external IP address.
  −
 
  −
Unfortunately, many admins believe that port-forwarding SMTP provides additional security. It doesn't, it limits the SMESERVER's ability to apply some rules.
