The normal looking message is the standard: Escape Character [ Connection closed by the server (POP doesn't keep a connection open, whereas SMTP does).
I should also note, I was getting this sequence when I did a telnet to port 110 from the server in question. Doing the same from my workstation just returned a connection refused (meaning the port wasn't found). The errors I was getting were along the lines of a connection failure - as if the port didn't exist. My previous post today covers this - sendmail only operates on the local interface (loopback) by default. I guess I'm just suffering the pains of the conversion process (from MS hand holding to thinking for yourself). Thanks for the support. Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Aaron J.
