Problem with CSI.COM and pop3 mail

Problem with CSI.COM and pop3 mail

Post by n.. » Thu, 29 Jan 1998 04:00:00



Has anyone had any success connecting to their CSI pop mail pox using
fetchmail under Linux 2. I am using red hat linux 4.2, User name and password
authenticates stat and list work, on retr command, csi end goes dead. The
same happens if I do it manually by telneting to port 110 and issuing the
commands. However, If I telnet manually under Windows 95, it all works
perfectly.

I have tried using the poprpa package, it authenticates perfectly, but also
gets stuck after sending a RETR 1 command. I have tried with kernel 2.0.30
and also 2.1.79 and neither work. I have tried on two different machine with
two different modems.

I immagine I could have some compile option not set properly, or maybe
something missing in /etc/conf.modules

Thanks for your time,
Nicholas Waltham

Thanks again for your suggestings,
Nicholas Waltham

Why do you use poprpa????
It is now possible to connect to the pop-server of CServe without the rpa authentification. You have to set manually a mail-password on the Cserve homepage, and then you can fetch your mail via
fetchmail -p pop3 -u youraccount -A password pop.site1.csi.com

and your mail-password, using your alphanumeric account. Therefore you need a alphanumeric mail address just like mine.
