[edit] POPFile Modifications
V1.0.0 of POPFile is the latest release. Two versions are available:
Windows and Cross Platform (Requires PERL to be installed)
In order to allow MWP's TOP command to function as normal, the file POP3.pm in the "proxy" subdirectory should be hacked as follows:
Modify line 466 from:
if ( $2 ne '99999999' ) {
to:
if ( ($2 ne '99999999') && ($2 < 100) ) {
Then modify line 562 from:
if ( ( $command =~ /RETR (.*)/i ) || ( $command =~ /TOP (.*) 99999999/i ) ) {
to:
if ( ( $command =~ /RETR (.*)/i ) || ( $command =~ /TOP (.*) (.*)/i ) ) {
...and it's good to go! Be careful to keep the upper case characters in the filename (POP3.pm).
[edit] Configuration
[edit] Recommended POPFile Settings
[edit] Bucket page
At the maintenance section (bottom of page), add the buckets desired. At the minimum, add one for Spam and another for Legitimate messages. Many can be added. While experts disagree as to whether additional buckets degrade performance, actual operation with over 10 buckets has not posed any noticable degradation.
