    Assume POPFile is listening to 123 and pop3.norton.antivirus maps to localhost. Using POPFile version v0.18.1.


    setup 1: POP3server --> POPFile --> NAV --> client

    Start with a "POPFile'd" account and protect it with NAV.
    That leads to:

    server name: pop3.norton.antivirus
    user name: POP3SERVER:USERLOGIN/127.0.0.1:123
    POP3 port: 110

    result:
    - POPFile gets the raw emails and passes them to NAV2001
    - (w)perl.exe must be allowed to access the Internet
    - some viruses remain in the POPFile\messages folder (e.g. plain text Eicar string)


    setup 2: POP3server --> NAV --> POPFile --> client

    Start with a NAV-protected account and "POPFile" it afterwards.
    That leads to:

    server name: 127.0.0.1
    user name: pop3.norton.antivirus:USERLOGIN/POP3SERVER
    POP3 port: 123

    result:
    - POPFile gets the filtered emails from NAV2001
    - (w)perl.exe only hast to access localhost
    - NAV2001 GUI doesn't recognize this account as 'protected'. But actually it is!
