POP3 Failure.

[nickphx]

Hi,

I've added two pop3 accounts to be checked by the scheduled services. I am able to connect to the pop3 server just fine with telnet and verify the login and password works and that there is mail. When I run the scheduled task to login, I receive the following error:

Account being parsed is contentcleaner<br>
Time Limit: unlimited secs<br>
Memory Limit: 64M<br>
Failed with error: POP3 connection lost


There is only 1 email message there for testing purposes. What causes this? I spent the last 3 hours today compiling the imap c-client and recompiling php with imap support.. So it *should* work just fine....

Is there another method to 'pipe' mail to the parsing system? I've looked at fetchmail and it seems to do way more than I need.. Retchmail doesn't compile because of their funky unstable required library wvStream..

Hey Nick,

I'll need some more info.

What MTA/daemon are you using to handle POP3/IMAP requests?

What settings are you using? (SSL/port/etc)

When you connect by telnet, what does your POP3/IMAP server return for the "CAPA" command?

Thanks!

vpopmail w/ qmail. No ssl.

Escape character is '^]'.

After messing with just about everything I gave up and setup the smtpd and pop3d on the same machine as the helpdesk. This has resolved the issue. :)
