I have set up the pop3 service on windows 2003 server.

I can connect to it from an external machine and send and receive email.

I can telnet to it from an external machine and login ok.

I cannot do either of these locally however or connect to te pop3 server from an asp page runing on the machine.

When attempting to connect from the asp page running on the machines IIS6 server, the log file contains the error msg 'Socket connect returned code -5'

The webpage (containing your sample code) displays the error 'Error #4'

The server is behind a firewall with ports 25 & 110 open.

I cannot browse the website on the server, using its external ip or url, from the server itself.

I can browse the website on the server, using its internal ip address, from the server itself.

Any ideas?

Looks like firewall is still a problem. Maybe the ports 25 & 110 are still closed for certain IP (such as web server IP itself)?

Also, antivirus software could be a problem because it can often act as firewall.

Finally, mail server itself might be configured to block connections from certain IPs.

Alex

Fixed now. The problem was using the TLD mail name for the server rather than the actual machine name.
