What are you doing?
POP3 service uses port 110.
This is how a sample POP3-session looks like:
[magnus@lungsot]$ telnet dbc.mtview.ca.us 110
Trying 172.17.27.3...
Connected to dbc.mtview.ca.us.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
USER mali
+OK
PASS tanstaaf
+OK
LIST
+OK
.
QUIT
+OK
Connection closed by foreign host.
