We have a remote site (we'll call it site A) where some users are supposed to access a local university's pop3 server with accounts. They cannot.

As a test, we have installed a PC and are using it for testing. I can telnet on port 110 to several other POP3 servers, but not the one belonging to a local university.

At some of our other sites (we'll call it site B) , we can telnet (on port 110) to the server belonging to the university.

so......

The university IS accepting access from site B

The people at site A cannot access the the mailserver at a local university, but CAN access other mailservers on port 110 (so port 110 is obviously open)

Is there anyway to prove to the local university that it is something on their end ?

port 110 is open 9obviously) we have changed our NAT address, and that still doesn't work.


thanks,
