pop3 and smtp don't go through squid so i'll ignore the squid config. squid would be relevant only if you're checking your mail via webmail (although if someone will chime in and point to something that does pop3/smtp tunneling through squid i'd be willing to be amazed :). > And regarding the firewall, i don't have a any firewall that > i have to block the pop3, all i have is the standard firewall > when you install the redhat 9. ok. i don't know what that's like (i don't have redhat), but it's probably set up so you can connect to remote pop3/smtp servers. just to make sure, become root and then do: iptables-save > my_firewall_rules maybe post that if it's short. you can also try to connect to your pop3 server directly. what happens when, at the shell prompt (you don't have to be root) you do this: telnet mail.isp.com.ph 110 ? when i do that i get: +OK QPOP (version 3.0.2) at mail.isp.com.ph starting. and then i can try to authenticate, e.g., i can type: USER my_login +OK Password required for my_login. pass my_password +OK my_login has 0 visible messages (0 hidden) in 0 octets. the +OKs are the replies of the POP3 server. the ones without the +OK are what i type. can you try that? and tell us what happens (or, if you want, email me directly, this might take a bit of back and forth and might not be interesting to the list, you can always summarize later). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" static char *usblp_messages[] = { "ok", "out of paper", "off-line", "on fire" }; /usr/src/linux/drivers/usb/printer.c -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
