Nettamer does work just fine for contacting and logging in to the POP3 server named "mail.subdimension.com" Nettamer works just fine there, and so does Arachne. >> P.S.

The problem is that Nettamer can't even contact the server at all. My problem is not about just a login failure. It can't even locate and contact the server! > But if you can't download your mail on mail.myrealbox.com, you shouldn't > be able to send anything via smtp.myrealbox.com, or is this possible > with Nettamer? Not possible with any email client because myrealbox uses POP before SMTP authentication. > By the way, do you use the same ISPs for both Arachne and Nettamer mail > download?

I didn't notice a mention from Neil about that. OK, I will use the numeric IP of the server in my Nettamer setup and see what happens. Thanks for your comments.
