Testing IGetMail
by Volker Weber
I can tolerate some errors for quite a while, but the Pullmail issues with malformed spam headers was a bit too much, especially since I will be away from my server for a while soon. I need a fix now, since I don't want to make any last minute changes before I walk out of the door.
There is actually a couple of programs who do the trick of retreiving messages from POP3 accounts and then delivering them to an SMTP host in a new envelope. Most of them do not advertize the fact that they work with Lotus Domino and instead target Exchange customers.
I looked at a number of them and then decided to try IGetMail. It is one of the least expensive packages in the round-up. Setup is very easy as it walks you through a wizard interfaces which lets you check connectivity while you are configuring the POP3 and SMTP servers. Towards the end of the wizard you hit this screen:
Please note, that IGetMail has exactly the feature I was looking for: Discard messages that it cannot download. A very smart feature which shows that those guys know what they are doing.

I have been trying to setup IGetMail for my Exchange 200 server but each time I do a test to the remote mail server, I keep getting a "cannot convert server name to IP address, possible incorrect server name".
I do know my domain server name very well and couldn't have possibly missed its spelling or whatever. The server I am working on has a connection to the Internet and is browsing okay.
What then could this be all about
