Hello again, OK, I tried to make my 'receiving mail from outside' to work, and I lost all my mail that was still on 'the mailserver', due to bad fetchmail configuration file. That's way the previous message(s) is/are not included in this one. But it's important to mention: telnet does work! There was an error in my inetd.conf-file. I restored it, and the 'normal telnet-procedure' works:
