[plug] Postfix

[Robert Andrews]

Hi Leon I know Im being a pain but things are improving I can now send mail
locally I think my DNS is working correctly (I think the DNS was one of the
main probs) I cannot connect to the pop port Hmm no it is connecting but is
being closed
This is what is returned from telent 192.168.1.1 110 and 203.57.132.141 110

[squirrel at squirrel-gw squirrel]$ telnet 192.168.1.1 110
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
[squirrel at squirrel-gw squirrel]$

I have the pop-3 line enabled in /etc/inetd.conf
However I have not installed a specialised pop-3 server you said that
postfix has its own pop-3 server

#pop-2   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop2d
pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  ipop3d
imap    stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  imapd
