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

You have to use fetchmail for that!
I finaly configure it and if you need help then just ask me!
