Yes. I can receive mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I can't currently seem to get mail
to show up in any other users Maildir's but I figure one problem at a time. If I can
get the pop client to work it will be much easier to debug the user issues.

Yes. I use PocoMail on a win2k box. I get a timeout error when attempting to contact
the popserver on my dmz host.
>If so, what username and password are you using for this retrieval?
I use lrpqmail and the password for lrpqmail on the host. I can log into the host with
this combination, I can telnet to port 110 and the pop server using this combination
but telnet takes about a minute and a half to respond to to the telnet open command.
Once the session is open, it responds OK.

I believe as Ray has mentioned that the major issue may be a reverse lookup that
qmail is doing which causes the timeout error on the mail client. I am still looking
into what dns settings I need to change to fix that possibility.
Thanks for your input,
