I have set up postfix on a machine to send/receive mail. Normal install and seems fine EXCEPT that I don't think that port 110 is open for POPing. I can send mail fine but I can't get into the machine to download mail. I can't figure out what the problem is. I cannot telnet into the machine on port 110. Can anyone clue me in to where I can start looking for the problem?
Postfix is an smtp server which sends and receives mail on port 25. If you want to retreive mail from your Postfix box you first need to install (or activate) a POP3 server daemon and _then_ point a POP3 capable client at it (port 110). I don't know about debian, but slackware installs POPa3d for this purpose. Google "debian POP3" and you'll find something you can apt-get, or perhaps that's already installed.
