Topic: Email not being picked up from POP

[Baronne]

Hi,

I am experiencing a frustrating problem with my server. I have a POP3 account which catches all names and my server is set to go and fetch the mail every 5 minutes during office hours. However, I have been waiting for it to deliver, but I could be waiting a long time... not sure what to look out for in the logs, but here is some from my messages log:

It seems it can't find the dns records for secure1.onetel.net.uk, www.onetel.net.uk and mail05.onetel.net.uk.
Are you sure those names are the right ones?
