Hi All,
I hope someone can help me with this too.... This is what i want..... I want to be able to telnet into my machine on port 110 to receive mail!
I am currently using kmail to get mail from /var/spool/mail/root but i would prefer to use Netscape! i have put in 127.0.0.1 and also tried 127.0.0.2 as the mailserver but it won't connect! i have tried telnet 127.0.0.1 110 but it says connection refused.
Do you have the loopback device enabled, assuming you're trying this from the local connection?
I have sendmail installed on my computer and it works fine. I have tried sendmail -bD to put it in daemon mode to listen on port 25 but i get the following error: 451 opendaemonsocket: connot bind: Address already in use
Probably because sendmail is already running.
The reason i want to be able to connect via telnet is when i am away from home.! The isp i use to get mail only allows me to get mail when connected to the ISP.
Are you wanting to connect to your ISP for mail, or your home system?
Can this be done? If it can be done but not through sendmail can someone suggest a program i could use!...
Sendmail is not what you use to GET mail. It is used to relay mail between hosts. POPmail, or some other agent, is what is typically used to receive mail (for you to GET your mail from the server).
Now FTP what program can i use to be able to ftp to my machine to get files and put files on my system?
