Hi, OK, I tryed it and got a dns not found message. I geus I have to find
out what the address is for the pop3 server, here is what I used:
"<pop3_mailer_address>:110"
I also tryed "<pop.mindspring.com>:110" I am not familar whith telnet
addressing, so I probably made attrocious errors in trying to conect to
the pop3 server using telnet. I hope there messages in the mindspring
email for me, because I sent a bunch there from raex.com.
Thanks for the telnet info!
