Hey, thanks for the quick response and suggestions. I’ll just work on pop3 for now. It appears from wireshark the error I need to investigate is…: “POP Response: -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command” Here’s the complete sequence of communication between a XP windows client and a Solaris 10 mail server (pike) running the pop3 service listening on port 110. TCP pop3 > 2205 [sYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 win=49640 Len=0 Mss=1460 TCP 2205 > pop3 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 win=64240 len=0 POP response: +OK POP3 pike 2006e.96 Server ready POP Request: USER cal TCP pop3 > 2205 [Ack] Seqs=38 Ack=13 win=49640 Len=0 POP Response: -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command As you can see, pike is listening on port 110 and acknowledges readiness for communication; however, the login fails with proven login and passwords. Any insight into this error message… “POP Response: -ERR Unknown AUTHORIZATION state command” ...other than an incorrect login/password being issued? Thanks.

I have a solaris 10 system listening on port 110 for pop3 and 143 for imap -- telnet confirm connection, as well verification via netstat. Users are not able to authenticate regardless of using valid username and passwords. (this is a small workgroup internal network and ssl is not a requirement) How do I allow users to authenticate using pop3 and/or imap from their mail clients to this sol10 mail server?
