Send/Recv POP3 mail locally w/o using POP client?

Send/Recv POP3 mail locally w/o using POP client?

Post by shadowl.. » Wed, 19 Jan 2000 04:00:00



Is there any way to send/receive POP email locally without having to go
through a special client for it?

I have a broadband account which I use for my email, and its stored on a
POP server. I'd like to be able to download the email to my machine
locally, read it with a command-line mail program (Elm), and have any
outgoing email be redirected through the broadband POP server. Is this
possible?

I realize I can use fetchmail to get my email, but I don't know about
the "sending" part. Is it possible to mangle a Elm/sendmail
configuration in such a manner so that it will put my broadband account
as the reply-to header?

Thanks in advance for any info provided!

Pine will let you do that. Don't know about Elm.

1. recv / send in mutiple client socket programming (using multi-threads)

Hallo All,
I have been breaking my head over a problem with my program.  I am
using stream socket programming on UNIX Sun solaris.  I have a server
that let multiple client connections using multi-threading.  There are
separate threads for each client.  I ran into the following problem.

When two (or more clients) connect to the server, I am using the send
function to transfer message to the server.  When the first client is
connected, the send/recv function from the client to server works just
fine.  Likewise, the send/recv function from the server to the client
works fine.  For example, the first client "logs in with username &
password" which is sent to the server for verification.  The server
verifies it and sends an "OK" back to the client.  In my program, I
send a character "1" indicating the username and password mathces.  At
this point in time, the value in the "buf" received by the recv
function in the client is correct.

However, when the second client connects (it uses the same client
program), a second thread is started.  When the second client tries to
log in the same way the first client did, the client side correctly
sends the username/password information to the server (just like it
happened in the first client).   After the server verifies it, the
server uses "send" to send the buffer back to the client (which is a
character).  However on the client side, the "recv" function, which
should have worked the same way as in the first client, does not
receive the character sent from the server.  The recv function is
empty instead.

I am not sure what is going on.  Can someone please send me
suggestions as to how to overcome this problem.

Your help is appreciated.  Thanks.  I can send the program if anybody
is interested.  Thanks again.
