EFS - ONLINE HELP

 PRE / POST Check

 BACK


Enable Post Checking - (ADVANCED VERSION ONLY) This allows you to tell EFS to run a file after EFS has finished checking for mail .

Filename - (ADVANCED VERSION ONLY) Specify a file such as a disconnect script to close a connection or perform some other post-check task.  You can choose to run the script or file in a Normal, Minimised or Hidden window.

Alert Postmaster (Pop3 Errors) - (ADVANCED VERSION ONLY) This setting will cause EFS to send "alert" messages to the Postmaster if any Pop3 error occurs.  You can optionally Include Timeouts for Pop3 timeouts and Include Pre Check Ping to send a warning if EFS fails when pinging the remote host (specified in Pre Check) fails.  This (obviously) does not include SMTP errors. A sample alert message is as follows:


WARNING: An error occured while EFS was checking for mail!
