Re: GWIA 7.0.3 and POA 6.5.7 Issues
Correct. It will install into those domains, and SMTP (which is routing
along the MTA level only ) will work fine.
POP, IMAP, and LDAP will go down in flames, because they directly
contact the POAS (actually I think LDAP might work, but we are getting
off topic)
The chart is a bit ambiguous and I'll ask our contacts to see if more
clear footnote can be made.
However, the consultant was wrong.
Either upgrrade to the rest, or drop pop3 and open up imap (which has a
poa direct option)
