Introduction

POP3 Server

What is a POP3 Server?

The definition of a Proxy is something that acts on behalf of something else. The XGate device acts on the behalf of your computers when communicating with your Mail server. When XGate receives mail, it will then forward it to the appropriate computer’s mail client.

POP3 Server Details

Transparent Proxy

A Transparent Proxy can also be referred to as a “Forceful Proxy”. This is because a transparent proxy forces each computer’s mail client to go through the XGate POP3 Server/Proxy. As such, this feature can be useful if you do not wish to set up each individual mail client on your network to go through the XGate.
