Title: unable to receive mails from linux box
Post by: raghavachary on May 27, 2004, 10:39:02 AM

Hi there,

I am using RH9.0, i have configured sendmail and ipop3 services.

when i try to send and receive mails from windows clients (2K) it's not working.

I could send mails but unable to receive it !

It's asking for pop3 authentication and validating... but still didn't work !

Can anyone help me ?

Thanks
