Tony,
I did as you suggested, and all I get is:
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [ISafe POP3 Proxy]
-ERR authorization first
-ERR authorization first
-ERR authorization first
-ERR authorization first
-ERR authorization first
There is no username or password prompt. However, this may be because
Lizardhill, the hosting service, has locked out direct connections.
I've CC:'d him on this. Maybe he can provide some insight.
Thanks,
Allen
