Interesting reading Theo, but I didn't see a listing for reading mail on the POP3 server anyplace. Can I therefore assume that reading mail on the POP3 server is not supported?
I'm not sure I'm following you here Brian, to what listing are you refering? Whenever there's a POP server listening one can telnet to it and read mail, delete stuff etc., provided of course a valid USER & PASS is available. More secure would be to use APOP, where no plain passwd or username travels the lines, or to setup a ssh tunnel between the ISP and the workplace. Theo -- Theo v. Werkhoven ICBM 52 8 24N , 4 32 40E.
