Ex_Brit Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 For years now I've set my OE pop settings to retrieve filtered mail from the server "pop.spamcop.net" and it works fine. I was just glossing through the SC FAQ's and noticed that it is now (probably always has been) "mail.spamcop.net". Am I going to have to change it or does it matter?

Wazoo Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 10/03/04 21:26:38 Slow traceroute pop.spamcop.net Trace pop.spamcop.net (216.154.195.50) ... 10/03/04 21:27:07 Slow traceroute mail.spamcop.net Trace mail.spamcop.net (216.154.195.50) ... Today, as you can see, both names point to the same IP / server. Things will woek just fine until JT makes a change for some reason. I'd suggest changing to "mail" .. making sure that it does still work of course ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff G. Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 pop.spamcop.net is the more current name. mail.spamcop.net is the old/deprecated name. Please use pop.spamcop.net for POP, imap.spamcop.net for IMAP, and http://mail.spamcop.net/ for info on the SpamCop Email System. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wazoo Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 http://mail.spamcop.net/members.php#setup still shows "mail" ... I'd sent out an earlier e-mail with several FAQ issues this (yesterday) morning .. as this is JT's, do I/you/somebody need to give a holler to update the page then? Feeling a bit guilty as the last two I sent that way could be bears to mess with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
