pop3 and socket 110

Check sockstat -l (if it's FreeBSD, or check to see if something in inetd is grabbing it...). Yep, altho I'm not sure why or how: root inetd247647 tcp4 *:110 *:* I commented out pop3 and reinitialized; then the socket was 113. --This is a bit over my head; 113 is given to auth. Why is it grabbing the POP socket? NS1 had a valid IP address; my two other systems are internal, private, invisible from the outside.

(???) /var/mail/kline is my spool; mozilla can't see this for some reason. mozilla doesn't know about these sort of mailboxes. It only knows about imap and pop3. Thanks for the insight. Well, room for improvement... . evolution refuses to build because some of the GNOME libs won't upgrade. (Of my 400 ports, just 11 seem broken.) Can anybody recommend a GUI mail program that doesn't have so many dependencies? portupgrade might help your GNOME libs upgrade. Anyhow, I use sylpheed-claws (basically the more cutting edge version of sylpheed). I used portupgrade for all but 11 of my out-of-date ports. It's great. Unfortunately, it can't fix broken code and I'm happy with ctwm ;-) 1.) Do I really need pop3? If you want to use mozilla. 2.) How do I get the mozilla mail to recognize the mail in my spool dir? You probably don't. 3.) What is a decent MUA? that's debatable. I consider what I use to be decent :P I'll give sylpheed a look. I really prefer discreet tools than bundled/bloat. Use mutt 99% of the time. So when I find a decent GUI client, I'm gonna rebuild mozilla sans' the mailer. thanks el-mucho! gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
