disable pop3

[jryden]

Hey folks -

was wondering if there is a way to permanently disable the pop3 service?

[ScalixSupport]

You can run the command

Code: Select all

omsetsvc -a pop n

. This will prevent the POP3 service from being started by omrc or omon -s all. There is another command that will remove the POP3 service completely but, trust me, the command to bring it back again is undocumented and complicated so it's easier just to disable it from starting.

This doesn't stop the service from being started by [b]omon pop[/code] but that's a manual command.

If you are running ommaint, you will also need to comment out the section that checks that if the service is running.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks Dave! We don't use ommaint right now so this worked perfectly. Thanks!
