POP3 Connector

Encyclopedia : P : PO : POP : POP3 Connector

---

The POP3 Connector is a piece of software included with Microsoft Exchange Server that enables the server to fetch e-mail from external, 3rd party, POP3 servers.

The software can fetch e-mail on a per-user, per-account basis, or it can fetch e-mail from a catch-all account and distribute by the To: field based on values configured in Active Directory. Note that the latter method does not work for bcc'd e-mails and some mailing lists, as the recipient cannot be easlily identified by looking at the headers. However, failed e-mail can be delivered to a central account, where the correct recipient can be identified manually and then distributed accordingly.

The software is then scheduled to fetch e-mail at regular intervals, from once per hour to four times per hour.

Other commercial alternatives are available, with increased functionality. These include eXchange POP3 and PopBeamer.
