? Could not connect to mailserver...
Simon B. Hansen
If I telnet to port 110 and type USER username PASS password the response
is
+OK Name is a valid mailbox
The problem is, I can only connect to the server from the server PC
Is it because I use USER and PASS from users in FC3 instead of mail-users ?
What else could be the problem?

you are asking for a pop3 (port 110) topic in the sendmail list
I think you can't really expect answers from here.

True.
It's just that since I intalled FC3 a little week ago, I've run into 1000
questions about linux, sendmail, ftp-server, apache, php, packages and
everything else, and sometimes a question is put the wrong place. Sorry
'bout that.
I've been messing with sendmail for a few days now, and I still can't say
for sure, wether I only need sendmail, or both sendmail and pop3 to make a
few clients (like Outlook) login to seperate mail-acounts?

you need sendmail service to receive mail and feed your mailboxes.
you need pop3 service to ask and fetch the mails with your mail clients.
