One more thing......can anyone help with sendmail???? 1

[wlwoman]

Everything's working except for my sendmail configuration. It will send mail, and receive mail, but it won't let me get my mail from my POP3 client on my Windows box.

I thought this was a relay error, but I've added all the domains to the appropriate files and still no luck!

Hi,

You have installed the pop3 service.
You have verified the pop3 enable = yes
You have port 25 open.

Sendmail is only an MTA. If you need POP3 service, you need to install a POP3 daemon in addition to Sendmail. Some popular POP3 daemons are...

Qpopper -->

Courier-IMAP/POP3 -->

UW IMAP/POP3 -->

You can't use Courier with Sendmail, however, because Courier uses maildir formatted mailboxes which Sendmail doesn't support. I figured I would mention it anyway in case you drop Sendmail for a better MTA (IMO) such as Postfix, or even qmail.

First of all, shame on me for not enabling my ipop3! Thanks for reminding me to check to simplest possible solution.

Unfortunately, it's only a partial fix: While I can get some of my mail from the server now, I still have 2 accounts that give me the following error even though I've aliased both of them to an account which is working correctly.

All of my mail account users are valid UNIX users with their own passwords. Of the six accounts, 4 work, 2 don't:

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was rejected. Account: 'wwd.net', Server: 'wwd.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR Unable to open user's INBOX', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92

I circumvented the issue by changing all the logins/pw's and set everything up to alias to one login/pw account. This still really doesn't solve the problem though.

I 'assumed' that the /etc/passwd file is the key in opening up these accounts; maybe I am wrong about that also.
