here is output from a telnet session:
+OK QPOP (version 3.1) at mydomain.com starting.
-ERR Unknown command: ".
-ERR Unknown command: "user".
-ERR Unknown command: "pass".
-ERR Unknown command: "help".
-ERR Unknown command: "quit".
looking in the /var/log/maillog i see this that corresponds to the time i
try to telnet:
Oct 30 12:11:28 mydomain popper[2170]: (v3.1) Unable to get canonical name
of client
and when trying to use a email client:
Oct 30 12:11:28 mydomain popper[2170]: (v3.1) Unable to get canonical name
of client x.x.x.x Unknown host (1)
(x.x.x.x - my remote ip)
does this sound familar to anyone?
i am guessing that my popper is trying to authenticate via my remote
host/ip - do i just need to allow all somewhere or ??
thanks in advance

Subject: pop says 'starting' - getting error on commands
hey all,
running into some trouble pulling mail from qpopper
myBox = redhat 7.1
running qpopper 3.1
so if i telnet from the server to localhost, i can use normal
user myname
pass mypass
and retrieve mail,
But ( (
when i try to connect from another machine either via telnet, all i see
is the message that qpopper is starting, anything i enter comes back as
error, unknown command
hmmm?
