Hi all, This is a message I sent to the Eric, popclient maintainer. I tend to agree with Eric, this does look more like a diald problem.
I have added the following lines to my diald configuration files accept tcp 30 tcp.dest=tcp.pop-3 accept tcp 30 tcp.source=tcp.pop-3 accept udp 30 udp.dest=udp.pop-3 accept udp 30 udp.source=udp.pop-3 I am using pop3 and pop-3/tcp and pop-3/udp are defined in /etc/services I have a work around for now. Instead of using popclient in daemon mode I have generated a script that forces diald to raise the link, waits for ppp to be activated (/var/run/ppp0.pid is created) and then runs popclient. This is called periodically by cron If anyone wants this script, let me know Simon Forwarded message: > From POPmail Fri Oct 11 19:09:55 1996 > From: "Eric S.
