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
<19428.940945560@clarke-r.sta.
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
