The IMSS 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 IMSS 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.

Note
IMSS supports connections to IPv6 POP3
servers.
