>> 1. Maybe "localhost" isn't resolving into the local machine - does "ping localhost" work? If not, then instead of "localhost", you'll have to use the IP/name of the local machine.<<
It didn't it resolved to 127.0.0.1 >>2. You didn't say which port you telnetted to to get the connection, but if it was 110, then it looks like Mailtraq is using the local port 110 itself. In that case, try getting SpamBayes to use port 8110 (and 8111 and 8112 for the other two servers) and set Mailtraq to get mail from localhost (or 90.0.0.12) on port 8110.<< I tried this but no success. So I used the tried and tested scattergun approach and plodded through all possible configurations and then bingo! Should anyone else ask here's the set-up In Mailtraq you set the pop3 boxes to use port 110. You also set the ip address to the machines IP address not localhost. In spambayes you set it to use the pop 3 server on the web and for it to use port 8110. You only need one port in spambayes as all mail comes through it as set above i.e. our 6 pop accounts on nicolandandrew.com. I'm not sure why this works but it does so I'm happy at present. If the above seems to have flaws which will show themselves later perhaps you would let me know :) Thanks for your help Tony Neil > If I could phrase a proper question to the Mailtraq team I > could ask them although from experience they don't tend to support > third party apps too well. Could you help with this if all else fails? Sure. The question would basically be "how do I put a POP3 proxy between Mailtraq and the POP3 server", but we could add specifics. =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
