One Domain (on dedicated IP) has an issue in regards to email. Unable to login via pop3 - Webmail works fine though .

telnet to the mailserver is fine -
it resolves - however when trying to log into the act unable 2 here is the error msg:

Connection to host lost.

Any suggestions ? ? ?


********************************************
found the issue & fix

The ip address for the mail server must be pointed via dns to the ip of the server and not the ip of the site itself.

this is usually caused by cpanel being installed on top of ensim; their

/lib/libnss_ensimvwh.so.2 modifies some syscalls that mess things up.

Renaming it and running ldconfig should fix it.

Thanks - I had this problem on a few boxes -
some were installs over Ensim and some were not -

in any event thanks for the update. . .

I am seeing it on a non-exim box.
