Have Fun... Ales ----- Original Message ----- From: Kayla l. Moon To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Sent: Friday, March 31, 2000 2:54 PM I have freebsd3.3 - I have sendmail enabled and popper enabled - I am able to telnet to the box and login as a particular user. I can telnet to the pop3 port and get the appropriate response to the telnet command. I can ping the mail.name.com all day long and get the correct response. When I try to check mail I get a password error even though I know I am using the correct name and password......... I can send mail using the smtp function fine??? Help!!! I have been beating my head against this problem for days!! Thanks Kayla' Kayla L. Moon Director of Information Services 2021 Interactive, L.L.C.
