It seems mail sent from addresses not on the mailing list don't get sent
out? I apologize if this message is duplicated on the list.

Subject: Re: Constantly Getting EOF Errors
It seems I have found the problem. My gateway is connected to the Internet
via ADSL. I was playing with the MTU value for the WAN card on the gateway
and forgot to change it back to the required value. It seems the MTU being
too large is what was causing people to timeout with the POP server. I
can't be certain this is the solution, but since I changed the MTU back
about 4-5 hours ago it seems any users trying to pick up their mail outside
of the LAN are succeeding.
To answer Jeff's question below, it was all users who were failing.
Your help has been appreciated,
Derek Battams

are you seeing this problem with all users or just this account?
