I have a 10baset ethernet for my local network and it is tyed into the net with a 56K dial up modem on a normal phone line. The one machine is the gateway for the email (pop3 and imap), web and anything else that is not local. you say you're running both pop3 and imap servers--is this on the one box? what do you mean by 'when i try to get my mail'--you need to describe the environment you're working with/in. I have tryed several email clients to get the mail from this box using pop3 or imap protocals. Every time I do I get an error saying that it cannot find my box or login failed. Right now I only have the server on this network because I am rebuilding the network from a hardware crash. the fact that you're consistently getting the same error means that you're consistently making the same mistake. perhaps a better description of your setup process might reveal what that is. I install the distrobution and setup my users. I then go into my modem setup and install the program that sets me up with my domain name on the internet. What that does is very similar to the way gnudip does it. My local network is set up like any other network that I have ever set up. I save the default gateway to be assined by the ppp system. That way it works for both networks. I also let my ppp connection assign the dns servers. I use the host file for any local computers. The mail server software (pop3 and imap) is installed as it is from the default install on debian package. The clients (kmail and netscape for two of them) are installed to use the opo3 or imap depending on what the software is compatable with. This is following the instructions for the client. I hope this will help you help me. Thanks for the help. Brian = = __ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo! Mail! http://promo.yahoo.com/videomail/

First my stats. Debian woody i386 from cd's bought from Cheapbytes After installing I then updated the system with dselect to the most current woody off the servers. I have a fixed domain name from yi.org. Plus I have a local network I have a problem with my mail working on imap and pop3. I thought that I had it set up ok since I can ping the server as well as telnet to it on the ports nessasary (143 110). When I try to get my mail from any mail program I do not connect.

Right now I only have the server on this network because I am rebuilding the network from a hardware crash. so at least you know that the problem is less to do with the client than it is to do with the network configuration, so pick one client and stick with it for the moment. can you be more specific about the error(s) you're getting back from the network? [more snippage] I install the distrobution and setup my users. which box are we talking about here? I then go into my modem setup and install the program that sets me up with my domain name on the internet. i'm really not sure what you mean with this. how do you 'go into your modem setup?' what app are you running to do this? can you elaborate on 'sets me up with my domain name on the internet?' What that does is very similar to the way gnudip does it. My local network is set up like any other network that I have ever set up. you've set up home networks before? or..? obviously some aspect of what you're doing 'ain't flyin' right, so it would serve you well to try to discern what distinguishes this instance from those others. I save the default gateway to be assined by the ppp system. That way it works for both networks. I also let my ppp connection assign the dns servers. I use the host file for any local computers. The mail server software (pop3 and imap) is installed as it is from the default install on debian package. it may be installed but is it properly configured for your situation, and, more to the point, what is it? what server software are you using? The clients (kmail and netscape for two of them) are installed to use the opo3 or imap depending on what the software is compatable with. This is following the instructions for the client. which instructions are those? does your server fail to get the mail from your isp's mail server? or is it that the client box can't reach the server on your network? what does /etc/resolv.conf look like on the box that makes the modem connection to your isp? does this box have a static ip number on the net it's calling into? i'm trying to make sense of what you're describing. so far, it seems like you've got one box with a modem connection to the web that you also want use as a web and mail server for at least one other box on your home network. is this correct? i'm also getting the impression that you are taking experience gained hooking a subnet to a backbone and applying it to a home net situation. is this correct?
