Yet more info:
As I've researched this I now suspect dovecot. I tried to stop it via
/etc/init.d/dovecot stop and it would fail. I tried start and :
"Starting Dovecot Imap: Fatal: listen (110) failed: Address already in
use" which I thought peculiar because 110 is pop.
I mv'd /etc/dovecot.conf to /etc/dovecot.conf-latest and cp'd
/etc/dovecot.conf.rpmsave to /etc/dovecot.conf and then when starting
dovecot it worked.
When trying to pop3 my email from my client, I got a plain text
authentication error message. I went into my client account setup and
choose server settings "use TLS if available" and now it seems to work.
Had to click through a certificate and then got an error saying
something about the machine hostname being different than the vsite -
clicked ok and it works.
But obviously just a workaround - need to fix the problem. Still
researching and may find it in the dovecot.conf file but help muchly
appreciated.
cheers, JD
