POP3 Server Access
I know this is probably something stupid but here goes. I have James
running and the POP3 server is configured (see below).
On the local host, I can telnet to port 110 and I get the James POP3 banner.
>From any other machine, I can't connect. No firewalls in the way. What am
I missing? Is there an "allow" list I need to add to allow remote access?
Thanks for any assistance. - Bud
config.xml:
<!-- The POP3 server is enabled by default -->
<!-- Disabling blocks will stop them from listening, -->
<!-- but does not free as many resources as removing them would -->
<pop3server enabled="true">
<!-- port 995 is the well-known/IANA registered port for POP3S ie
over SSL/TLS -->
<!-- port 110 is the well-known/IANA registered port for Standard POP3
-->
<port>110</port>
<!-- Uncomment this if you want to bind to a specific inetaddress -->
<!--
<bind> </bind>
-->
<!-- Uncomment this if you want to use TLS (SSL) on this port -->
<!--
<useTLS>true</useTLS>

<handler>
