What we did, thanks to help from the list;
In the GUI, turn POP before SMTP off (control panel >> email server),
save, then when it kicks you back to the previous screen, save again
(this restarts services). Go back into Email server and turn Pop B4 SMTP
back on, save and save. Go back in to email server, turn it back off,
save and save, then turn it back on, save and save. That should do it,
it is a wierd quirk with RaQ3's and possibly RaQ4's. Hope it works for
ya, cheers.
