    hi all,

    i have a problem with a cpanel pop3 service
    the problem is a login in pop3 .. all the mail clients on port 110 respond with a login failed. also with smtp authentication login failed. it was happened twice and the temporary solution only restart the server. i have cross check the log and nothing strange. anybody could share ?

    Hello :)

    You can try browsing the following log file for a specific error message:

    Code:
    /var/log/maillog
    Try searching the log for the specific date/time you experienced this issue to see what the output was.

    Thank you.
