SMTP/Exchange server settings in POPcon PRO

POPcon PRO SMTP/Exchange settings screenshot

On this configuration screen you can specify the Exchange™-(SMTP) Server you want the mail to be directed to. Normally this will be the network name of your Exchange™ server.

You need to provide the following fields of information:

Exchange Server: Your Exchange/mail server, typically the machine name of where your Microsoft Exchange Server™ is installed.

SMTP Port: Almost always the TCP/IP port for SMTP transfers is 25. Change this setting only if you know what you are doing. Sometimes Firewalls or routers cause the port number to be changed. Ask your network administrator if you think you need to change this setting.

SMTP Timeout: The time to wait for a non-responding exchange server in seconds.

Advanced: Here you can define the reactions of POPcon to emails that Exchange does not accept. You can choose different reactions to different types of SMTP error messages from Exchange:

user unknown: What to do if Exchange did not accept the mail because the user is unknown.

ip has been blocked: What to do if Exchange did not accept the mail because the sender IP is blocked.

action not taken: What to do if Exchange did not accept the mail because of the intelligent message filter.
