Okay: first things first -- can you telnet to port 110 on pop.threeofus.com, from her machine? Here's a sample session of how I do it:
telnet ursa 110 Trying 10.20.1.31... Connected to ursa.xanoptix.com (10.20.1.31). Escape character is '^]'. +OK ursa.xanoptix.com Cyrus POP3 v1.5.19 server ready user kend +OK Name is a valid mailbox pass foopass +OK Maildrop locked and ready list +OK scan listing follows 1 1549 2 2414 3 2353 4 2397 5 2381 What this has done is actually exactly the same as what a POP mail client does: it logs in, authenticates, then lists the messages in the inbox, along with their sizes. (You can then look at the contents of the messages with the "retr" command, thusly: "retr 1".) If you're not able to log in with the above, it looks like something is probably broken. As I was able to connect to your POP server, but got no challenges when I entered "user foo", I'm wondering if your POP server is really working. You might want to check your /etc/services and xinetd config, and make sure that the correct application for port 110 is being launched. Good luck! -Ken On Wed, 5 Dec 2001, Joshua S.
