POPFile v0.22.0 released, major improvements abound - Page 2

9. Transparent POP3 Proxying


v0.22.0 includes support for transparent proxying of POP3 connections where the destination POP3 server is configured in POPFile and the mail client talks to POPFile without using the special host:user syntax for the hostname.


This is most useful in a small office environment with a dedicated POP3 server where POPFile can act as a front end for the real POP3 server and by installing it on the same machine as the POP3 server there's no need to change mail client settings. To use this mode set the host and port of the real POP3 server on POPFile's Security tab in the SPA/AUTH settings.


POPFile requires a number of Perl modules that are available from CPAN. New in v0.22.0 are the need for the following:


Date::Parse

HTML::Template

HTML::Tagset

DBD::SQLite

DBI

Date::TimeDate

    Thanks for keeping up on PopFile--I use it and depend on it and have appreciated your thoughts and help getting it installed in the past--look forward to your guide to upgrading to 0.22

    thanks! that is encouraging to hear, and the reason I write about it. I still do plan on upgrading to 0.22.0. going back to college has left me with less time for blogging. but it will happen soon, as the new features sound great.
