hi,

I am having some issues with my cpanel POP server.

The server keeps terminating the connection when i tried to check for new messages.

tried telnetting to port 110 to no avail.

have absolutely no idea why it is working up.

Thanks in advance.

What you see in log file when connecting to pop server:
tail -f /var/log/maillog
must be something like "pop3 service init from 10.10.10.10" (where 10.10.10.10 - your IP).

i get something like...

Sep 6 10:58:04 server1 cpanelpop[20026]: Connection from host=[hidden ip] to ip=[hidden ip]
Sep 6 10:58:05 server1 cpanelpop[20026]: Login host=[hidden ip] ip=[hidden ip] user=[hidden] realuser=[hidden]
Sep 6 10:58:06 server1 cpanelpop[20026]: Session Closed host=[hidden ip] ip=[hidden ip] user=[hidden] realuser=[hidden] totalxfer=277

What happens when you restart it?

no errors at all...

interestingly, other users can access their email thru POP...
