RE: [vox-tech] POP3 email
I'm pleased to say that my IPOPD is now working - I don't know what I did - but it's working. Thanks again. Martyn R.

The results of the tests you have performed indicate that the problem is in Outlook. I am pretty sure Outlook "sends" mail before it "pop"s it, so be sure your smtp server is configured correctly as well as the pop server. --- Jeff NewmillerThe . . Go Live...

RE: [vox-tech] POP3 email
Thank you for the feedback. I don't think that the SMTP server is the problem as I am referring it to my DSL providers SMTP server. This works for all my other email accounts - and anyway in the Outlook test for my Linux IPOPD account it successfully connects to the SMTP server. I have also been running the TCP-DUMP option as suggested by Rod. This produces a lot of output when I try and connect to the POP server from my client machine - but I haven't deciphered the output yet. I went and looked at all the Linux books I could find regarding IPOPD - but the information seemed very scant - as it does on the Internet. Maybe it works for most people first time! Martyn R.

Re: [vox-tech] POP3 email
Try running some sniffing software on the Linux box to get some clues. Ethereal is good with X, otherwise maybe tcpdump. Yes there's some learning to do, but trust me it will come in handy many times. -- Rod http://www.sunsetsystems.com/ On Thursday 11 April 2002 09:02 pm, Martyn R Whittaker wrote: > Thanks for the advice on sending files to my Web server.

[vox-tech] POP3 email
Thanks for the advice on sending files to my Web server. Thats working fine. I am now trying to access email. Ipopd is running on my server i.e. I can send myself email (to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and when I type telnet localhost pop-3 and log in, it tells me I have messages. (This also works if, instead of typing 'localhost'. I type in the actual fixed IP address of my machine, or mail.billyfirestudios.com or www.billyfirestudios.com) I now want to be able to 'pop' the email from my Web server to my Windows client. In my client mail system (under Outlook) I have tried various pop addresses, e.g. mail.billyfirestudios.com, www.billyfirestudios.com, 192.168.0.1 and the actual fixed IP address of the machine etc but I do not seem to get a connection. I am also able to run the telnet command from my Windows client i.e. when I type: telnet mail.billyfirestudios.com 110 using the 'RUN' command, it works fine. I feel I must be close but missing something obvious. Any advice would be gratefully received. Regards Martyn Martyn R.
