We have getting a notice that POP3 before SMTP should be disabled. When I click on the link in the email,
https://vps5960.inmotionhosting.com:2087/scripts2/tweaksettings?find=popbeforesmtp

I'm brought to a blank page. Can you give me the manual steps to disable POP3 before SMTP.

Thanks,

Hello Irwin, Thank you for contacting us about a "The server has POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) before SMTP" notice. This is a new update with some of the recent versions of cPanel. If you have root access you can login as root, go to Tweak Settings, and turn off the "Allow users to relay mail if they use an IP address through which someone has validated an IMAP or POP3 login within the last hour (Pop-before-SMTP)" setting. Alternately, you can contact Live Support to make this adjustment. Let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you, John-Paul
