Hi, welcome hee

if you want to access your server from outside your lan, you have to use POP3S protocol (secure pop3), which runs on port 995. That's because standard pop3 is pretty unsecure..

if you still want to use plain pop3, search the forums (and the wiki) for pop3 public access

And be aware of the security issues associated with pop3 protocol, this is not a good choice.

No you don't. OE can use pop3s (SSL) on port 995 or imaps (SSL) on port 993.

ok..

- config show spamassassin will show you actual values
- config setprop spamassassin key value will change key value
- after changing values, call
Code: [Select]
signal-event email-update
to rebuild conf files and restart services

give simply 'db' in cli to see the syntax
