L runs sendmail and pop3d and W fetches the mail from L using POP3, right? On the server do a ps aux and check that pop3d is running. If it's not running, chech /etc/inetd.conf for a line starting with pop. The last thing on that line is the server name. Do a ls -l with that name and check that it refers to the right executable. Another thing to check is /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny for tcpwrappers rules that might block the access. Can you telnet on port 110 from the server itself? Look for hints in /var/log/auth* /var/log/secure* /var/log/messages* /var/log/mail*. If desperate, cd /var/log grep -i POP * zcat *.gz | grep -i POP florin -- "If it's not broken, let's fix it till it is." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
