RE: Binding the i5/os POP server to a particular address.

I've not discovered how to do this with the IBM POP3 server. Domino
allows you to and other mail servers do too. The SMTP server does but not
the pOP server, not even in V6R1.

What I have done in cases where both Domino AND i5/OS POP3 are required on
the same server is to change the IBM POP3 server to use the POP2 server
port, 109. This only works when you have a very small group of users using
the i5/OS server as it requires tweaks to their mail client.

RE: Binding the i5/os POP server to a particular address.






No. It matters a whole hell of a lot. I try accessing Domino's POP
server but the freaking i5/os POP server has bound to all interfaces. I'd

rather the i5/os pop server only bind to the interface for i5/os and not
to all the IP addresses reserved for Domino.
I try this command
TELNET RMTSYS(NOTES01.DEKKO.COM) PORT(110)
and find out the only user id's and passwords that are valid are i5/os
user id's and passwords.
And NETSTAT *CNN shows port 110 (pop) bound to all addresses and not just
my i5/os interface.
