Re: POP3 Authentication

You know, I don't know if I really want to post to you any more.

I asked a question, and expected - at least - courtesy - not a lecture
on "How to ask questions".

If you think I'm not presenting my problem to the right group, why
should I provide you with error messages ? And if you're not very
familiar with RH, why did you respond ?

But, for your information, before bothering you with my question to the
wrong group, I did check if Port 110 was used, I did telnet localhost

Why did you telnet localhost? Surely you should be telneting your POP3
mail server?

e.g. telnet mail.garbage.uk 110

Once you did that, you need to enter at the command line:

user fred@xxxxxxxxxx

then

pass [your password] (without the brackets)

Should then be connected to your POP3 server, and you can use LIST RETR
DELE, etc, etc...

through port 110 and entered a dialogue and got an error message - the
same error message from Red Hat 9 - but POP3 works on that server
anyway.

Anyway, I'll leave you and your snide attitude alone now.

Sorry about the other response - just killfile him.


And I'll skip reading Eric S. Raymonds "How to ask questions"

No, you should seriously consider reading _everything_ that Eric has
written.

And yes, YES - I know I'm posting from Windoze!!
