Hi,

When I telnet to localhost at 110 pop3 port, my linux box return this:

trying 127.0.0.1
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I dont know why and how to fix it. Really I have no ideas where to
check from the first..!!
please help me...

---
/etc/hosts.deny:
ALL: ALL

/etc/hosts.allow:
ALL: LOCAL @my.domain.name

/etc/inetd:
pop2 ... ... ... /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop2d
pop3 ... ... ... /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
imap ... ... ... /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd

I think those setting will be ok, but...

Thanks in advance...

Can you connect with a POP3 client application? if _not_ do you
have a line
pop3 110/tcp # POP version 3
in /etc/services

No I cant. And sure I have that line in /etc/services.

Make sure that pop3 is enabled in inetd.conf and if you're running tcpwrappers enable ipop3d in hosts.allow ..

Looks like the pop3 server doesn't get started.

Have you checked /etc/services if there an entry called "pop3"?
The corresponding line at my machine reads:
pop-3 110/tcp

and /etc/inetd reads:
pop-3 ... ... ... /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d

Maybe in your /etc/inetd pop3 is called "pop3" and in /etc/services it's
called "pop-3" or the like.

btw: You have installed the pop-package, haven't you? - I forgot I hadn't
when I wanted to activate pop3 on my home machine! ;-)
