Subject: [cobalt-users] POP before SMTP questions


i'm having intermittent problems with some of my remote users 
on one of my
RaQ4s. i had POP before SMTP enabled but they suddenly started 
getting the
infamous 'Relaying Denied' errors. i tried checking and 
unchecking the box
via the GUI several times, but every time i clicked back into the email
settings page, the box was unchecked. i tried a reboot but it's still
behaving the same way.
is this normal? the box is checked on my other 
identically-patched RaQ4...
if not, can i check via the command line to see if POP before SMTP is
enabled?
any ideas about what might be wrong?

cheers

Andy,

Did these users recently increase the time between checking email? If they
did (and now it is higher than the Relay Window, when before it was lower)
they may not have their SMTP settings set to check their email or at least
log into the POP server!
