Do you have a firewall running on the Linux box that is rejecting your requests? Turn off all firewalls (ipchains iptables) then see if you can connect. If so its just a matter of adjusting your firewall setting to allow access to pop/SMTP. -----Original Message----- From: rhemingway@qvnetwork.co.uk [mailto:rhemingway@qvnetwork.co.uk] Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2003 11:08 AM To: pkraus@pelsupply.com Subject: RE: [SLE] Connecting to pop3 and postfix Paul thanks for the response. I am running pop3 and postfix on the linux box. I can ping it and get to the internet via squid from the w2k but the linux box rejects my pop3 requests - is that because Pegasus offers plaintext passwords? I know there is mail in the linux box waiting for me to connect to. On 15 Jul 2003 at 10:54, Paul Kraus wrote:
Wont connect to what? The pop server on the windows box your trying to

I am going to guess that you mean you can not connect to your internet
SMTP server. Can you access web pages? Can you ping the SMTP server?
Have you set up your default gateway?

I have just put 8.2 on a Dell Optiplex. Finally got two NICs running having had to disable internal one.
Created a user account with password. Set up Samba. Can connect from w2k box to samba shares but pop3 and smtp from Pegasus just won't connect.
/var/log/messages shows the pop3 service responding but it keeps saying Logout user=???.
Postfix claims to be running (tried a start and it complained it was there)
On smtp the pegasus just says it cannot connect.
I had got used to sendmail
