Hi all,
As a new member just a quick intro, I'm a final year Computing student at the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. For my final year project I'm writing a daemon for Mercury that will export certain messages and forward them to an SMS server to be forwarded to a mobile phone. The daemon stuff is going ok so far but I have another problem.....
Currently in Mercury I'm using the Mercury POP3 Client to receive in mails from an exisiting mail account I have. This is working as when I send a test mail I can see '1 message successfully received' and '1 message delivered to ali@localhost.com'
What I want is for that message to be forwarded on to PM that is running on the same machine. So far, to try and achieve this I've put the following settings in the Mercury POP3 Client:
Obviously all the correct POP3 settings as I'm receiving mails and they are being placed in the 'Queue' folder, plus....
Local User: ali@localhost.com
The settings I've put into the Mercury POP3 Server are...
TCP Port:110
Pole: 60
IP Interface: 127.0.0.1
Within PM I've put the following settings in to try and receive the mails from the POP3 Server....
Internet email address: ali@localhost.com
Receiving POP3 name: localhost
Server hostname: localhost
Username: ali
Password: (left blank as I don't know what password it wants)
When I check for new mails in PM the box pops up saying:
*] Connection established to 127.0.0.1
>> 0052 +OK <15930286.15734@localhost>, POP3 server ready.
<< 0010 USER ali
>> 0024 +OK ali is known here.
<< 0010 PASS
>> 0052 -ERR Username or password is invalid or incorrect.
Obviously it's looking for a password but I haven't set one on the POP3 Server in Mercury as there is no field for it.
Can anybody please help and see what I am doing wrong?
Hope everything I said was clear, if not please just ask and I'll try to clarify,
Many thanks,
Ali
