Re: sendmail problem

[Pete Robie <rewt odin wf net>]

Yee,

	I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do here. As far as setting up a POP3 server, authentication is part of the process. If you telnet to your mail server (ie. telnet localhost 110) you will come to the server (as will any email program) and be required to login. Thus, sending user username (enter) pass password (enter) and then typing list will give you a list of messages. retr 1 will give you the contents of the first message and so on. The only thing I can think of is that you are thinking of the client saving the password on their mail program like in Outlook Express. If this is the case then I would suggest unchecking save password (note: this makes for cranky users).

	Hope this helps,
