The POP3 server and the SMTP server both have the same name:
operamail.com
Are the port numbers the usual ones: 25 and 110?
Can they be accessed directly by USER and PASS or do they require a
special type of authentication?
I know that the POP3 port can be accessed from the usual port
number, 110. I have accessed the POP3 port for operamail with
Telnet. I haven't yet tried using Telnet for the SMTP port.
Operamail works for me both for sending and receiving mail with
Nettamer when used as a mail client, and also with NetMail Pro,
another Nettamer product. I did not have to configure anything
in any special manner, nor did I have to write any special scripts
for authentication. I can use operamail with Nettamer just as
easily as I can use the mail servers at my own ISP. I believe that
with operamail you must access POP3 *before* you access SMTP.
I don't think it would work if you wanted to "send replies only",
but I have not yet tested this hypothesis.
