[qmailtoaster] POP3 Not working
Greetings Everyone, I need help getting my POP3 to work again. My mail server has a public ip address and was working fine until a couple of days ago... i did not make any changes on the firewall in place since I run it as well, but when i telnet to the pop port whether inside lan or from a remote location all I get is this... akisakye$ telnet mailserver.com 110 Trying xx.xx.xx.xx... Connected to mailserver.com. Escape character is '^]'. POP banner doesnt appear... ive tried to telnet on the machine itself and a telnet to the localhost or 127.0.0.1 responds immediately with the pop banner while a telnet to mailserver.com even on the servers terminal reproduces the results... akisakye$ telnet mailserver.com 110 Trying xx.xx.xx.xx...

Sounds like a DNS issue. Your server will perform a reverse DNS lookup on the IP connecting during the initial transaction. What does your /var/qmail/supervise/pop3/run file look like? Try adding an -H to the tcpserver options to disable remote IP lookups. Thanks Jake, I've adjusted the run file like below and it connected although it took close to 40 seconds... which is tooo slow for a connection on LAN... Any ideas on what else i should tweak? here is the run file #!/bin/sh PASSPROG=/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw HOSTNAME=`hostname --fqdn` exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 900 \ /usr/bin/tcpserver -H -v -R -c 200 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup $HOSTNAME \ $PASSPROG /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 ALex - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You may also be looking up DNS names for your local IP. There's a wiki page on it: http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Slow_pop3 If it's DNS, you'll still need to fix that anyway, instead of just trying to work around another problem.

Re: [qmailtoaster] POP3 Not working
Probably either reverse dns lookups or blocklists. Got a call yesterday from a client about another error, was probably a blocklist down. Try temporarily removing all blocklists see if it cures it, then put them back in one at a time.

What do you have in the logs of pop3d (/var/log/qmail/pop3) when attempting to pop3 from clients? If you dont find anything there: Try ngrep on port 110 and see what happens when client connects.
