POPcon PRO: Exchange POP3 Connector + Antivirus + Antispam
POPcon PRO connects your MS Exchange™ or Lotus Domino™ Server to your POP3 and IMAP mailboxes. It contains all of the features of the POPcon Standard version plus the antivirus, antispam and rule-based distribution functions.
POPcon PRO downloads the emails from POP3, POP3-SSL, IMAP and IMAP-SSL mailboxes and distributes them to exchange or domino mailboxes according to the recipient information found in the mail headers.
The software is compatible with Exchange 2007, 2003 and 2000 Server, Exchange Server 5.5 and all SBS-Versions of Exchange 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 PRO 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 PRO also includes anti-spam measures.
POPcon PRO Features
PRO-Version special Features
Built-in internal anti-virus engine - virus-scans every incomming email before relaying it to your exchange server. The virus scanner updates itself hourly or daily (user-selectable) by downloading new virus signatures from the internet.
Antispam function - checks IP addresses in the headers of incomming emails against internet spam blacklist servers and filters email from known spam senders.
Rule-based distribution - allows you to forward, send a copy, or delete an email if it meets user-configured conditions. Conditions can be strings to find in recipients, senders, subjects or the names of attachments.
Excel-importable detailed message log
PRO Version includes all POPcon standard features:
Poll POP3, POP3-SSL, IMAP and IMAP-SSL mailboxes and forward mail to a single MS Exchange™ or Lotus Domino™ Server mailbox or distribute mail collected in a single catch-all mailbox to multiple MS Exchange Server™ mailboxes according to user the mail was sent to. POPcon analyses the mail header fields (TO:, CC, received .. for, X-RESENT-TO, etc.) and filters mail recipients for matches to pre-configured "allowed" domains.
Can be installed on same machine as MS Exchange Server™ - needs only one internet connection and at least one catch-all style mailbox to receive mail for the whole workgroup or company
Flexible scheduling for mail retrieval based on day of week. Have different retrieval times at night and on weekends or have POPcon check for mail every minute.
Automatically uses a configurable dial-up networking account to connect to and disconnect from the internet. Supports Routers and dedicated internet connections as well.
Monitor POPcon's actions from any system in your network using the "POPcon Administrator" utility included with the software. Trigger mail retrieval at odd times or configure additional POP3 mailboxes to poll - all from your workstation.
POPcon ís installed as a service, POPcon is started at system startup time without the need for a user to log in.
Mailflow of incomming emails with POPcon PRO
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 Exchange Server and sends the previously downloaded emails via the SMTP protocol directly to your Exchange users.
Mailflow of outgoing emails with POPcon PRO
POPcon is only used for incomming emails. Outgoing mail traffic is handled directly by your Exchange Server.
