All of you have helped me solve a bit of the mystery. The POP3 server is at quality.qadas.com. which is one of 3 IP addresses for qadas.com. One question is why were you able to resolve 204.227.16.4 from qadas.com while I need to use quality.qadas.com? Perhaps it is just the order of IP addresses in my PPP setup?
Another question: I also tried telnet to 204.227.16.4 110 but was unable to get anything. Maybe it was just the phone line or network problems today. Unfortunately, today we are experiencing multiple problems from Qwest (Qworst previously US Worst) phone lines or something else so that I so far haven't be able to get futher. I am sending this message on a Mac. And then about configuring Sendmail?
