Re: everything works... but 1



Well it would help to know what you are running, are you running stock stuff as in the mail server that came with RH or something else. If you are running the defaults then you can find sendmail (shudder shudder) as the smtp and I guess you can open a terminal window and perform a :

	> telnet localhost 110
	> QUIT  <--- to get out of the pop3 session

This should tell you what you are running for a POP server, I think that you will be running stock RH pop. That should be running via /etc/xinetd.d/pop so its an inetd system. Whenever you get a request for pop the inetd will start up the pop3d for you.

I would indeed suggest that you also activate Imap which is a better way to go than pop3. I also wonder if there is a file to set things up for pop3, I don't use the stock stuff as there is much better out there.

Cheers,

Aly.
