POPcon NOTES: Lotus Notes POP3 Connector + Antivirus + Antispam
POPcon NOTES connects your Lotus Notes Domino™ Server to your POP3 and IMAP mailboxes. It contains all of the features of the POPcon PRO version and it is tailored to be used with Domino.
POPcon NOTES downloads the emails from POP3, POP3-SSL, IMAP and IMAP-SSL mailboxes and distributes them to domino mailboxes according to the recipient information found in the mail headers.
The software is compatible with all Domino Server Versions and can be installed on Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2000, NT 4.0 and even Windows XP. POPcon installs as a OS service and runs in the background with no user logged in.
POPcon NOTES checks each incomming email with its built-in antivirusscanner. Emails that contain viruses are encapsulated in a warning message and can be diverted to the postmaster. Antivirus signatures are automatically updated daily. POPcon NOTES also includes anti-spam measures.

Mailflow of incomming emails with POPcon NOTES
The mail sender transmits emails via the SMTP-protocol directly (or over an additional smtp relay server) to your POP3 or IMAP mailbox at your provider. POPcon periodically connects to your POP3/IMAP mailboxes, downloads the email using the POP3 protocol or the newer IMAP protocol (with and without SSL) and stores the messages in temporary files. After downloading emails from all your mailboxes, POPcon connects to your Domino Server and sends the previously downloaded emails via the SMTP protocol directly to your Notes users.
Mailflow of outgoing emails with POPcon NOTES
POPcon is only used for incomming emails. Outgoing mail traffic is handled directly by your Domino Server.
