eudora and "password"

[dooley2 <bo...@lycos.com>]

heoo all,

installed current win version on an xp box, using last paid version of
eudora, inserted "127.0.0.1" in place of POP3 mail server as advised in
manual, but eudora wants a password every time one changes a server
name.....and I cannot find one that works.

meaning, I am the admin on this machine, tried my log on (in windows
password) and it doesn't work....tried the pop 3 password (which works with
normal setttings) for the server and it doesn't work either. in both cases,
eudora never completes the log in via the spam assassin proxy, to get my
mail.

what, please, should I do?

thanks

dooley

thank you.

i have tried every config I can think of, including what you suggest.

still hanging up at entry into that particular inbox.

I also started using eudora again after many years because it was either
that or psychotropic drugs as a microsoft user<g><sigh>, especially with
outlook.....and I have just not had the time to migrate an intense business
environment to linux.

anyway...thanks for the note.

Not really an SA issue but it is probably a config issue.  Most proxies 
need you to set the pop3 username to the full login credentials like 
'username@pop3server' so they know where to send your request.

As someone that was happy with Eudora for the better part of 10 years I 
can say that Eudora doesn't have a password that is causing you problems.

ok. thanks for all.

I felet it was worth a shot, even knowing that most would not be using a
windows proxy.

if anything occurs to you...or, certainly, anyone else indulging this
thread...I would appreciate any comments.

thanks.

Well, true.. however, from your post it wasn't possible to determine 
much about your setup. It also wasn't even clear you were using SA at 
all, but I assumed you were.

(Note: most folks here, unless you specify otherwise, are going to 
assume you're using SpamAssassin on a unix-like platform with a MTA or 
MDA layer integration, because that's what's common. It was clear from 
your post that's not what you're doing, but it also wasn't possible to 
tell what you are using.)

Regardless, without knowing what proxy I don't think anyone could be of 
much help. After all, you problem isn't with the SA code, it's with the 
proxy code. That's very specific to what proxy you're using.

All I could tell you would be a broad generic statement like "the pop3 
password should work, dono why it doesn't". That's not very informative.

That said, based on the version number you posted, I *think* you're 
using SAwin32, which is one of the many proxies mentioned above.

Since this is really a feature of the proxy part of the code, not the SA 
part of the code, you might try their forums:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=175673

Someone here might be able to help, but there are not many folks on this 
list using proxies.

Re: eudora and "password"

[dooley2 <bo...@lycos.com>]

it is a spam assassin proxy 3.2.3.3., for windows.

respectfully, why would I post the question here unless it had something to
do with spam assassin?

Could you at least tell us what proxy you're using, or how this relates 
to SpamAssassin ? (SpamAssassin isn't a proxy, but could be hacked into one)
