Richard,
I would make sure your winbox mail client is configured to use a valid account/password on the linux box. If it is, I am not sure what the problem is. With my setup, Linux is where the mail is actual sent. My account [EMAIL PROTECTED] is [EMAIL PROTECTED] My mail client (outlook89) is configured with pmchale/password. The only other thing I could figure is GNU might use some other source for passwords. Using another pop3 daemon would solve this. You might try cucipop or qpopper. Both installed in seconds on mine and either one ran without a hitch. Both initially use standard name/password for access. This doesn't fix your problem but will give you a second point of reference. -paul -----Original Message----- From: Richard Clarke [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 1999 8:44 AM To: Debian User List Subject: gnu-pop3d Hi, I have my debbox, set up so that exim delivers local mail, and I can run fetchmail to retrieve pop3 mail to a local mailbox. I now wish to be able to download this mail to my winbox on the internal network. I installed gnu-pop3d and added it to inetd.conf, and I can telnet to port 110 just fine and get the response, +OK POP3 Welcome to GNU POP3 Server Version 0.9.8 <[EMAIL PROTECTED] man.ac.uk> So I take it the pop3d is running ok. However no matter what username/password I use, I receive bad password responses. My inetd.conf line is, pop-3 stream tcp nowait mail /usr/local/sbin/gnu-pop3d gnu-pop3d and services line is, pop-3 110/tcp # POP version 3 Could somebody with experience in pop3d or otherwise offer my a solution to the problem. Also, is this actually the correct way to go about retrieving mail to my winbox? Thanx Richard -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
