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 .
