To access my email I need to tunnel to my webserver (in Texas) through SSH and forware a local port to the POP3 port on the server, so I can read my mail.
So in console I type:
ssh -l username www.domain.com -P -L 1337:www.domain.com:110
Also what works is:
ssh -P -L 1337:www.domain.com: 110 username@www.domain.com
anyways; when trying to check my mail I put in the username, and password, to check mail at localhost port 1337. But when I check my mail I get a
"Could not login to localhost."
"The server terminated the connection immediately"
What could be causing this?... If I use putty and outlook in windows and could check my mail just fine (But since I don't have windows installed anymore... ehh I can't check mail :-( ).
I have tried forwarding port 1338 local to 25 remote to the same server to test telnet, it it works just fine.
Please help me =-( *sniff*
PS: I'm running slackware 9.1 and SUSE 9.0, both of them will not tunnel the mail to localhost.
