wodPop3Server ActiveX Control - Security Property

Security Property

Description

Determines if SSL is used.

Property type

A Pop3SecurityEnum enumeration.

Syntax

object.Security [= value]

The Security Property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	An expression evaluating to an object of type wodPop3Server.
value	A Pop3SecurityEnum enumeration, as described in settings.

Settings

The settings for value are:

Constant		Value	Description
	SecurityNone	0	No security required.
	SecurityAllowed	1	Security allowed, but not required.
	SecurityRequired	2	Security is required.
	SecurityImplicit	3	Implicit security through SSL wrapper.

Remarks

This property defines if wodPop3Server will require SSL encryption to be used by clients when they try to read messages. You should set it to one of constants defined in SecurityEnum. It defaults to SecurityNone since most mail clients don't support SSL encryption.

When set to SecurityAllowed, then server will accept STLS command, but will not require it for accessing messages.

If SecurityRequired is chosen, server will not allow messages to be accessed unless client sent STLS command.

If SecurityImplicit is chosen, server will negotiate SSL connection even before any (POP3 specific) data is sent through the socket. Usually, server should be running on port 995 when this type is selected.

When you set Security property, make sure Certificate is set also.
