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
