*** My Sendmail is working, but POP is not, thus if anyone responds to this
please CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] else it wont be helpful to me because I
wont get it until after the problem is fixed. ****
I have just installed RedHat 6.2 and compiled and installed qpopper 3.1.
I'm not the most graceful person in LINUX so excuse any ignorance that seems
obvious. After compiling and following the instructions in the INSTALL
document, I am unable to retrieve email using my MS Outlook clients. It
would appear that things installed correctly because at first my Outlook was
reporting that it could not find a POP3 server, but that error disappeared
after compiling and installing qpopper. However, the server seems to be
avoiding Outlooks request to log on as it is not even asking me for a user
ID and password. I purposefully put an incorrect ID in Outlook and when I
do a send and receive mail I am not getting any errors. I am using wrapper
on the Linux machine and have my hosts.allow configured. Sendmail is
working just fine, else you wouldn't be reading this email. I suspect that
email is coming in because if I send email from my Yahoo account, it does
not get bounced back. At first this was not the case I was getting errors,
and I figured out I needed to configure etc/mail/*allow files (I believe
that's a send mail function?).
Where else can I check for configuration problems?
All help appreciated! And remember to CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks
again!
