Hi all
I used telnet to connect a POP3 server.
it connects but it dosen't log into that server.
I tried some server but none of them works.
when I connect ,server reply me Ok.then I type AUTH command but it says
"-ERR invalid command"
I don't know how can I connect to a POP3 server..
I even read rfc POP3...but it dosen't help me.
thx in advance
 
The usualway is to offer a USER command and then a PASS command. In full you
shoulddo the following:-

Start>Run Type in "telnet mailserver.domain.com 110" (minus the quotes)

A DOS box should then pop up saying something along the lines of:-

+OK POP3 PROXY server ready (7.0.043)
n074.sc1.cp.net>

You should now type in USER then a space then your email username and press
enter. The telnet program should then output something like: -

+OK Password required

Then type in PASS and then your password (be carreful as it will be
displayed in plaintext onscreen).

You should now gain access to your POP3 mailbox as long as you have entered
the correct crudentials. Once in you can offer many other commands to view
and delete messages in your mailbox, just type in "telnet commands" in google.

hope this helps.

Kerms
