  • Use the glide.pop3.process_locked_out property to control inbound email actions for locked out, active users.

    The glide.pop3.process_locked_out system property controls inbound email actions for locked out users. If glide.pop3.process_locked_out is set to true, there may be an information disclosure as inbound emails would be received by users with locked accounts.

    Ensure that the property glide.pop3.process_locked_out is set to false.

    Note:
    Consider the security implications of allowing users from untrusted domains, and why they were locked out, before allowing emails from them to trigger inbound email actions.
