The API Gateway POP Client enables you to poll a Post Office Protocol (POP) mail server and read email messages from it. When the messages have been read, they can be passed into the core message pipeline where the full collection of message processing filters can act on them.
You can configure a POP Client by right-clicking an API Gateway instance node under the Listeners node in the Policy Studio tree, and selecting the POP Client > Add menu option. Complete the following fields on the POP Mail Server dialog:
Server Name:
Enter the hostname or IP address of the POP mail server.
Port:
Enter the port on which the POP server is listening. By default, POP servers listen on port 110.
Connection Security:
Select the security used to connect to the POP server (SSL,
TLS, or NONE). Defaults to NONE.
User Name:
Enter the user name of a configured mail user for this POP server.
Password:
Enter the password for this user.
Poll Rate:
Enter the rate at which the instance polls the mail server in milliseconds.
Delete Message from Server:
Specifies whether the POP server deletes email messages after they have been read by the instance. This setting is selected by default.
Email Debugging
Select this setting to find out more information about errors encountered by
the API Gateway when polling the POP server. All trace files are written to
the /trace directory of your the API Gateway installation.
This setting is not selected by default.
Policy to Use:
Select the policy that you want to use to process messages that have been read from the POP server.
