59.7 POP3 Switches

The following optional startup switches that can be used to configure the GWIA’s POP3 service:

59.7.1 --nopopversion

Suppresses the GroupWise version and copyright date information that the GWIA typically responds with when contacted by a POP client.

Syntax: --nopopversion

59.7.2 --pop3

Enables POP3 client access to GroupWise mailboxes through the GWIA. See Section 53.2.1, Enabling POP3/IMAP4 Services.

Syntax: --pop3

59.7.3 --popintruderdetect

Instructs the GWIA to log POP email clients in through the POA so that the POA’s intruder detection can take effect, if intruder has been configured in ConsoleOne (POA object > Client Access Settings > Intruder Detection). This switch cannot be used with older POAs that do not support intruder detection.

Syntax: --popintruderdetect

59.7.4 --popport

By default, the GWIA listens for POP3 connections on port 110. This switch allows you to change the POP3 listen port.

Syntax: --popport port_number

Example: --popport 111

59.7.5 --popsport

By default, the GWIA listens for secure (SSL) POP3 connections on port 995. This switch allows you to change the POP3 SSL listen port.

Syntax: --popsport port_number

Example: --popsport 996

59.7.6 --popssl

Disables, enables, or requires secure (SSL) connections between POP3 clients and the GWIA. See Section 55.4, Securing GWIA Connections with SSL.

Syntax: --popssl enabled|disabled|required

Example: --popssl required

Option

Description

enabled

The POP3 client determines whether an SSL connection or non-SSL connection is used. By default, the GWIA listens for SSL connections on port 995 and non-SSL connections on port 110. You can use the ‑‑popsport and ‑‑popport switches to change these ports.

required

The GWIA forces SSL connections on port 995 and port 110. Non-SSL connections are denied. You can use the ‑‑popsport and ‑‑popport switches to change these ports.

disabled

The GWIA listens for connections only on port 110, and the connections are not secure. You can use the ‑‑popport switch to change this port.

59.7.7 --pt

Specifies the maximum number of threads to be used for POP3 connections. The default number is 10. You are limited only by the memory resources of your server. See Section 53.2.1, Enabling POP3/IMAP4 Services.

Syntax: --pt number_of_threads

Example: --pt 15

59.7.8 --sslpt

Specify the maximum number of threads you want the GWIA to use for secure POP3 connections. You are limited only by the memory resources of your server. See Section 53.2.1, Enabling POP3/IMAP4 Services.

Syntax: --sslpt number_of_threads

Example: --sslpt 15
