Hello, I don't know about slackware, but in RedHad 5.xx and 6.xx, the pop3 is turned off by default. You must edit (what for me would be) the inetd.conf file, find the pop3 entry, and enable it. Kinda silly they did it that way... -------------------------------------------------------- Eric Warthan Radio Design Labs (800) 933-1780 - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
