Subject: Re: Unable to retrieve email from YD 1.2 Using Eudora

Hello Bill,
I'm not sure I can really help but I'll give it a shot. I recently set up a
few email servers that seem to work fine on 1.1 and 1.2. You installed the
'imap-4.5-3.ppc.rpm' package right? (Just curious which one was installed) You
need to install it for POP functionality.

You're sure you have the POP/SMTP/email configured properly? Perhaps check
/etc/HOSTNAME and see if you left out the domain in your hostname.
The Server not responding error isn't the one you get if relaying is denied. If
it were, you get an "Relaying not permitted on this server" type of error. It
just sounds like Eudora isn't resolving the POP server's name properly.

Well, sounds as though your email works fine. I'm not familiar with PINE since
it was "before my day" (^o^)
But, since you telnet in, you're not using POP are you? That could mean that you
don't have the imap package installed?

PS : Where is school district 23? Didn't know we were using YDL around here :)
