And
how is the timeout set within Servers Alive? It should be at least the
same (or more) then within the SMTP2POP3 section/ini.
Dirk.
Most of Woodstone's staff is currently on holiday,
however support checks mail a couple of times a day (over a slow
link). This does mean that we are not able to do all "normal"
support tasks.
We will be back, in full force, on August 10th
2003.

Subject: [SA-list] SMTP2POP3 exits with -999 after first try to pop the mailbox and mail is not yet thereHello,Since the "crew" is on holiday I try the mailinglist. Maybe someone has had the same problem?There seems to be a problem with SMTP2POP3. I use it to send a testmail and receive that mail again from a POP3-server.
When I use these settings: timeout=300 and nrofchecks = 5 it works almost always fine. SMTP2POP checks for mail for the first time after 60 seconds. But when I increase nrofchecks (to e.g. 10) it starts reading the POP3 mailbox after 30 seconds. The email has almost never arrived after 30 seconds. I can see this in de SMTP2POP3 window. Again after 30 seconds, when it tries to check the mailbox again it quits with errorlevel -999. I can't see anything in the window because this goes very fast.When I add the parameter log=1 I just see the "sending message"-lines and not the "receiving message"-line (it would be nice to log all the output as shown in the SMTP2POP3 window...).To me, it looks like a logon-problem to the POP3 mailbox. When SMTP2POP3 is waiting between 2 checks, is it logout in the right way?Thanks for your answer.Robert Haerkens
