Re: [expert] POP3 Server problems in MK 8.0
If you can't send something, that is an entirely different problem. That's a problem relating to postfix, not qpopper. Check the access file for postfix (under /etc/mail) and make sure you have it set up to where you can send from outside your network. Of course, any messages that you might have from postfix under /var/log would also be helpful to give you more specific advice.

That would be true if he was using 7.1 or earlier, since they use inetd
(and hence inetd.conf). For 7.2 and letter, you need to edit
/etc/xinetd.d/ipop3, such that it looks as below:

Re: [expert] POP3 server 8.1
Michael,
I'm not able to verify ipop3 att. I looked at this file earlier and if I
remember correctly it was set to disable =yes. I will check on this later. If
is set to disable, any idea as to what other program would be listening on port
110.
Thanks
Jerry

That would be true if he was using 7.1 or earlier, since they use inetd
(and hence inetd.conf). For 7.2 and letter, you need to edit
/etc/xinetd.d/ipop3, such that it looks as below:

Re: [expert] POP3 server 8.1
pop3d is a service of inetd. look at /etc/inetd.conf and find that line: pop-3 stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d be sure that the line is enabled (without a # in the beggining).

Re: [expert] pop3 session times out with 7.1
Can't offer any help other than to note that this sounds like the really old problem where you had to login to the server and kill any "popper" process that was hanging around. Say it ain't so... :) Pierre Christopher Kolar wrote: Hello. I am running a 7.1 box and connecting to it from my network over an internal interface (192.168.1.1). I have noticed that many times my pop3 sessions will seem to connect but will not authenticate or download mail. I telnetted into port 110 directly and it seems to hang after sending it PASS x. I tried getting to the box using the public IP address but no luck there either. II have noticed that if I -SIGHUP the inetd process I am able to get normal pop sessions again, but within 24 hours the problem returns. Thanks in advance for any advice. --chris

[expert] POP3 Filtering Q
Hi Mandrake Users As someone who triple-boots BeOS/Linux-Mandrake/Win98 I am trying to find a way to retrieve only Mandrake mailing list emails from my POP3 server so that I can retrieve them when in Linux. Anyone tried anything like this? I only want a simple solution that doesn't require me to run my own full-blown network email system. Any thoughts/advice/suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[expert] Pop3 not working under LM7.2, xinetd
Hello! Using Linux Mandrake 7.2, normal installation, how is pop3 e-mail enabled? From what I can gather, xinetd is now being used instead of inetd. I therefore assume that xinetd needs to be configured to enable pop3 access--is this true? Currently, users from other machines on the network are getting an error message similar to: "server unexpectedly terminated the connection". I cannot find any warnings or errors under the log files in the mail directory. I was not able to find any example configuration file for pop3 in the man pages for xinetd.conf or xinetd. Thank-you, Damon Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
Re: [expert] Pop3 not working under LM7.2, xinetd
Damon,
give this a try (you may need to alter the locations etc)
Place this in a file called ipop3 in /etc/xinetd.d
and ensure in your /etc/xinetd.conf, you have this line
includedir /etc/xinetd.d
-- cut here

Re: [expert] Pop3 not working under LM7.2, xinetd
Configure xinetd. Look into /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow. Add your local network in one of these files if necessary.

[expert] POP3 Server Problem
[expert] POP3 Server Outgoing mail
I am having a problem with my POP3 mail server. I am able to send and receive mail from my Linux box just fine. The problem is when I am at another location using a client such as Outlook express I am able to Recieve mail OK but when I try to send mail I get an error message saying "User 'mike' rejected by the server". I am sure Outlook is configured correctly. I also tried netscape and got a very similar error message. To me it seems like the problem is a configuration with the mail server. Here is some info: I have a domain name registered to my IP. I am running mandrake 7.1. I am using Postfix for SMTP and Qpopper for POP3. You people have been really great in the past. If anyone can help me or give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Mike
