pop3 service- howto?
Hello ,
I have this RH6.2 box with sendmail8.9.3-20 (configured and running properly )
I have also (procmail3.14-2 , fetchmail5.3.1-1 ) installed but I don't know about them.
(( all installed as rpm packages))
okay ,,, here what I need:
I need to be able to use OUTLOOK or any other email client to receive/send mail remotely from the server by using POP3/SMTP. the server has multiple IPS with 2 domain names
( lets say www.mydomain.com and www.myotherdomain.com )
I need to create user accounts / passwords so I can have email addresses by each domain
I have created a user called test1 and I send a mail to test1@mydomain.com ,, the mail was stored in the user's inbox in sendmail but I tried to connect by OUTLOOK using the username and password ( and mail.mydomain,com OR mydomain.com OR pop.mydomain.com ,,,). but it failed ( server suddenly terminate the connection.) ( but it works fine with sending emails )
I have edited ( etc/inetd.conf ) to uncomment POP3 service and then restarted inetd. ( b4 this step outlook was giving me a ( couldn't connect to server ) but now it gives me the error ( connection was unexpectedly terminated by the server( POP3 server mydomain.com).
I tried telnet www.mydomain.com 110
it gives me a blank screen for a while , then back to my command line with C:>
How to get the servive up and set pop3 accounts? what shall I do ?
at the meantime I am using an email-forwarding for some addresses in mydomain.com to a free web-based email service
thanx in advanced .

calibre-smtp - part of calibre SYNOPSIS
calibre-smtp [options] [from to text] DESCRIPTION
Send mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it. text is the body of the email message. If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP negotiation, the message headers are not modified. Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. OPTIONS
--version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -l, --localhost Host name of localhost. Used when connecting to SMTP server. -o, --outbox Path to maildir folder to store failed email messages in. -f, --fork Fork and deliver message in background.
