- - fetchmail error-- (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/fetchmail-error-877804/)

I can reach the server from the outside, and it's accepting connections.

Code:

repo@cannabis ~]$ telnet 202.137.236.11 110

Trying 202.137.236.11...

Connected to 202.137.236.11.

Escape character is '^]'.

+OK <21485.1304162386@pop.rediffmailpro.com>

quit

Connection closed by foreign host.

repo@cannabis ~]$

So seems to me there is a problem with the firewall or the router.
Are you connecting from the inside to the outside and back in?
Some routers don't support this.
Does the server has a private ip?

However when you are connecting to 127.0.0.1, you connect to

Code:

+OK <29898.1304146121@abc.co.in>

The server on 202.137.236.11
is

Code:

pop.rediffmailpro.com

Are you sure you're connecting to the correct server?

Kind regards

any one know what to do in this error

#telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <8493.1304579404@abc.co.in>

Telnet is the same in windows or linux.
You should learn to use google.

Kind regards
