Stumped here - cannot maker prefetch work.
POP3 Proxy is configured correctly - I do a send and recieve - but nothing shows up in prefetched mail.... Bummer!
Who has it working and what the heck did you do? I would really like to get that going...
Thanks!

Hi RockingRay,
please disable the POP3 Proxy completly and configure your client to retrieve emails from your ISP.
Once that is working, enable the POP3 Proxy in transparent mode with prefetching enabled. As mentioned by Ian, increase the local timer for fetching emails from 5min to 10min.
Than wait for 20 minutes. After that the system should have configured itself.
Some FreeMail Accounts block the retrieval if you ask too often for new emails, make sure that the timer in ASG proxy prefetch is not smaller than this timeframe enforced by the ISP.
That shall be it from the configuration side.
The error message tells that the POP3 proxy was not able to contact the content filter framework to scan emails for virus and spam. For testing purpose, you can just disable virus and spam filtering to see if it works than, if yes, than we need to investigate why the cffd does not anwser as expected.
hope that helps,
regards
Gert

RockinRay,
basic setup
I have 2 email accounts active on my outlook and so does my wife.
I have prefetch set for 500 seconds
I have all e-mail accounts in outlook set for 10 minutes, I went for 10 because it was easiest to quickly setup, at one stage I was using 9 minutes.
I have "end user spam report" enabled and also quarantine manager enabled.
I also have "end user portal" enabled with the e-mail addresses configured in there. For a small user group this is not a problem.
I have my outlook accounts setup to point at the ISPs email servers.
I didn't do anything specific at startup. But an approach would be to try it without prefetch to ensure all your accounts get through the pop3 proxy.
Then turn prefetch on. The first e-mail down load might take 30 minutes or more because prefetch does some checking. You will see counts in the quarantine reports, don't worry about them, the stats in there are slow to update and all messages that aren't in the bottom counts will eventually be released. Where people make the mistake is they see messages in quarantine and get worried they are stuck there so they turn prefetch off then on then off and as a result prefetch gets all screwed up.
Let it settle for a couple of days before judging it a failure.
On a separate note, I found that it best to shut the ASG down then power it on again after an upgrade.

@William
i set prefetchtime to 500, and change pickup-time to every 15min on clientsite (popconnect). It works fine with ~ 14 pop3 accounts.

Big Point with prefetch and POP3 is TIME
If Time is important change from pop3 to smtp/mx delivery
for 20 POP3 Mailboxes u have to make 20 * connect, stat , quit.
If first mailbox got a 1 mail with 40mb, how long u need to download this mail and complete a pickup the remaining 19 POP3 boxes ? (Dont forget you Astaro with scanning,antispam,anti-whatever betwen the different Pop3 accounts)
