maybe because you have an ugly subject foryour thread?
or because you give very less details?
or your unfriendly posting? in germany you say "the sound make the musik".

cheers

When i setup fetchmail all the mail is received by the sme server, but i can only setup internal imap to retrieve the mail into outlokk. If i try setup pop3 on outlook or outlook express it comes up with an error. connection to serve 192.168.1.200 failed. it seems that the pop3 on local machines to the sme server is invalid. please help

What do you see if you do:

telnet <server IP> 110

You should see something like this:

+OK <31426.1088521585@localhost>

If so, your POP3 is working.

OK, that's bad.

On the server console, what does:

/etc/rc.d/init/d/popd status

tell you?  If it's not up, try:


/etc/rc.d/init/d/popd start
Title: directory stack empty

Curious, that looks OK (apart from the fact that POP3 is public - you must have changed it).

Try this:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event email-update

followed by

netstat -a | grep pop

BTW, please don't put your replies in the Subject: line as it looks like you have not replied!

Hmm, ctrl-c shouldn't be required.  Something else going on here I suspect.

Feel free to email - there's an email icon on my posts.

Just to tidy up this topic, the OP re-installed on new hardware & the problem was gone.  Motto: don't trust 6 year-old hardware to "just work"!
