Oops, met to send this to the Qpopper list...Sorry Bob! -----Original Message----- From: Robert Finneran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2002 5:31 PM To: Bob Castleberry Subject: RE: timeouts abound
I've been seeing several people today reporting simuliar pop3 timeout issues with outlook 2000 and outlook express on the RedHat support list. So far, the people I've talked with are running some kind of pop3 service, like qpopper, via a service like inetd. It also appears to be happening for the ipop3d. The timeout problem started happening at my company after a user downloaded a new update to the McAffee virus scanner. My theory is the virus update contained some kind of shared COM component that outlook uses to retrieve pop3. If anybody figures this thing out, please post a message. Thanks!!!
