hi
if you can telnet into the machine...
at port 110, you can probably login on the telnet/ssh port ???
- i think that if one were using insecure pop3, they
might as well allow you to telnet/ssh in....
( your already have a login account )
- seems silly to disallow ssh into a pop3 server in my book
especially to those that would like to do so to clean
up emails first
if so, ssh in as a regular user,
run elm/pine locally on the server and delete the emails ...
- send/reply to the emails from the server
and/or than get back to your pc and do yoru normal emailing
c ya
