Prevent Post Office Protocol from starting when TCP/IP starts

You might need to use Post Office Protocol (POP) occasionally, but want to limit the amount of access users have the POP server.

POP is configured by default to start automatically when TCP/IP starts. To prevent POP server jobs from starting automatically when you start TCP/IP, follow these steps:
  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your iSeries Server > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
  2. Right-click POP and select Properties.
  3. Clear Start when TCP/IP starts.
