I am running postfix Mark....does the mail have to go thru postfix
even when you are using Kmail?
with this same ATX machine, I have an old cut up copy of W95a (first
generation)..and forte agent...using this same modem and same ISP it
functions flawlessly.....what would Linux be doing differently that
would create a ISP end problem,,,?
Every one of these mailprograms ask for the pop3 server ,
username and password separately ..from that I gather that they are
an independent entity and do not use a common file (like chap
secrets) to pass the pop information?
or do they all trigger postfix? any how ...there is provision
for multiple servers so that would mean they were independent....? I
donno...what is microsoft telling this modem? I wonder?..all the
other stuff works well...just pop3 is giving me an aneurism..
thanks for you efforts Mark...
still thinking slowly...I will fix this eventually 8-)
