All,
This problem has been solved. Thanks! to all who responded. With a combination of posts from this list as well as from comp.mail.sendmail and [EMAIL PROTECTED], I've arrived at an acceptable solution. For review: > > Statement of the Problem: Outlook 2000 fails to retrieve mail > over SSL POP3 using QPopper 4.0.4 > > Environment: Solaris 2.5.1 / QPopper 4.0.4 / OpenSSL 0.9.6b / Sendmail > 8.12.3 / SASL 1.5.27 / Outlook 2000 / NT4 SP6a > > As I understand it, QPopper 4.0.4 contains support to use the 110 port for > both SSL/TLS and non-SSL/TLS connections. I can get QPopper 4.0.4 to work > with SSL/TLS over alternate port of 995 but since Norton AntiVirus E-Mail > scanning doesn't support any non-standard ports, I can't use > 'tls-support=alternate-port'. Unlike other virus scanners, Norton works with a proxy and refuses to scan any mail that does not use the standard SMTP and POP3 ports of 25/110. To make matters more complicated, Outlook supports SSL over POP3 on port 995. This means that Outlook and Norton AntiVirus are mutually exclusive if POP3 SSL is desired. Implementing another E-Mail virus scanner (e.g. McAfee, [even Avast http://www.asw.cz/alwil.htm works better with SSL than Norton...]) allows Outlook to retrieve POP3 over SSL and still catch any E-Mail borne virus. Norton and Eudora 5.x are a compatible combination. Then, setting up two services (pop3 110 / pop3s 995) then allows either E-Mail client to retrieve POP3 SSL mail while still maintaining E-Mail virus scanning capability. Hope this series of posts helps anyone who may stumble upon this same scenario in the future. R. Damian Koziel
