Using a pop server - not using exim (or give him a shell account on the box and
have him use pine / mutt)

I suppose you _did_ uncomment the line for pop3 in inetd.conf? Something like
this (wrapped across two lines)

pop-3   stream  tcp     nowait  root.mail    /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/chroot /home/popmail /usr/sbin/gnu-pop3d -i


[if you are not running pop3 chrooted, just remove that /usr/sbin/chroot
/home/popmail from the line]

no

oh by the way - upgrade to redhat 6.2 (or at least your kernel, bind and
assorted other packages) if that server you mention has a public ip.

    -s (and as you are in india, try http://lists.linux-india.org for non
        exim related queries like this <g>)
