SecurityGateway for Email Servers v10.5

Use the New or Edit option on the Remote POP Accounts page to open the Edit POP Account screen, used to create or edit your POP account entries. The Edit POP Account screen contains two tabs: Host and Options and Parsing. The Host and Options tab is used for specifying the host and login information associated with the POP account, the security protocol to use for the connection to the POP host, and for designating how often SecurityGateway will collect mail from the POP account. The Parsing tab is used to designate the headers that SecurityGateway will search for recipient addresses and sender IP addresses.

Host and Options

This account is disabled

Click this check box if you wish to disable the POP account. The account will still appear in the Remote POP Accounts list, but SecurityGateway will no longer attempt to collect mail from it. Clear the check box to begin collecting mail from it again.

Collect mail for this domain

Use the drop-down list to specify the domain with which this POP account is associated. When parsing message headers for recipient addresses, SecurityGateway will look for this domain's users in those headers.

Mailbox

Description

Use this space to provide a name or description for the POP account. This is simply for your reference and appears in the POP accounts list.

Host name or IP

Enter the POP account's domain name or IP address here (for example: pop.example.com).

Port

This is the port that SecurityGateway will use when collecting mail from the account. The default POP port is 110.

User name

Enter the POP account's login or user name here.

Password

The POP account's password.

Security

Use secure connection

SecurityGateway for Email Servers supports the latest in encryption technology to protect your data and secure the connection. Choose the option that you wish to use when collecting this POP account's messages.

Never—Choose this option if your POP host does not support, or you do not wish to use, an encrypted session.

TLS, if available—Choose this option if you wish to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption whenever possible when collecting mail from the POP account. If the POP host does not support TLS then SecurityGateway will collect the messages normally, without using encryption. This is the default option.

TLS—Select this option if you wish to require TLS encryption when collecting messages from this POP account.

SSL—Use this option if you wish to require SSL encryption when collecting messages from this POP account.

Require secure authentication (APOP)

Click this box if you wish to use the APOP command and CRAM-MD5 authentication when retrieving mail from this account. This makes it possible to authenticate yourself without having to send clear text passwords.

Message Collection

Leave messages on the server

If selected, SecurityGateway will download but not remove the messages from the POP account's host server.

...until they are this many days old

This is the number of days that a message can remain on the POP host before it will be deleted.

Some hosts may limit the amount of time that you are allowed to store messages in the mailbox.

Polling interval: [xx] minutes

This option governs how often SecurityGateway will check the POP host for new mail. Checking every five minutes is recommended.

Timeout: [xx] seconds

This is the number of seconds that SecurityGateway will wait for a response from the POP host before giving up. Sixty seconds is recommended.

Parsing

Recipient (RCPT)

Parse these headers for recipient (RCPT)

Use this option to designate the headers that you want SecurityGateway to parse for recipient email addresses. Every header listed here is checked for addresses.

Parse 'Received' headers for recipient (RCPT)

Because the recipient information found within a message’s SMTP envelope is sometimes found within the 'Received' headers as well, this can make it possible for you to parse these headers and possibly glean the actual recipient address. Click this check box if you wish to parse valid addresses from all of the 'Received' headers found within each message.

Skip over the first [xx] 'Received:' headers

In some server configurations you may wish to parse 'Received' headers but need to skip the first few of them. This setting allows you to enter the number of 'Received' headers that SecurityGateway will skip over before beginning its parsing.

IP Address

Parse 'Received' headers for sender's IP address

Click this check box if you wish to parse the sender's IP address from all of the 'Received' headers found within each message. Obtaining the sender's IP address can be useful for various security lookups and spam blocking options.

Skip over the first [xx] 'Received:' headers

In some server configurations you may wish to parse 'Received' headers but need to skip the first few of them. This setting allows you to enter the number of 'Received' headers that SecurityGateway will skip over before beginning its parsing.

Parse this header for sender's IP address:

Use this option to list a specific header that you wish to parse for the sender's IP address. The default value is X-ORIGINATING-IP.
