Anybody have any ideas? Sendmail is *not* a pop server. I hope you haven't got inetd configured to call it for answering port 110 requests! There are other daemons that are designed to do that. In my own /etc/inetd and /etc/services files... % grep -i pop /etc/inetd.conf /etc/services /etc/inetd.conf:#pop-2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop2d /etc/inetd.conf:#pop2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.pop2d /etc/inetd.conf:#pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d /etc/inetd.conf:#pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.pop3d /etc/services:pop-2 109/tcp # PostOffice V.2 /etc/services:pop-3 110/tcp # PostOffice V.3 /etc/services:pop 110/tcp # PostOffice V.3 /etc/services:kpop 1109/tcp # Pop with Kerberos I have pop turned off (commented out) in my /etc/inetd.conf file as I'm not using this box as a pop server.

Oh hang on... (a quick grep later) RFC 1700 See http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc1700.txt Cheers Tony
