_PopCheck

[storme]

G'day All

I searched throught the forum for something like this but didn't have much luck untill 'monoceres' asked a question in another thread and I did a slightly different search and came up with THIS from 'RobSaunders'. After a little cleaning up this little script may come in handy for someone else.

Simply give the script the username, password, server and optionally port and it will return TRUE if everything is OK or False if it isn't. @error codes are returned to indicate what was wrong in the information. The header has all the information you may need and an example is included.

If any one has any suggestions or finds a problem please let me know ASAP.

What about SSL?

What about SSL?

Sorry but I don't know anything about SSL and don't have any accounts I can experiment on so there is nothing I can do at the moment. So if you use SSL and more importantly if you can supply some details on how to handle SSL then I'd be interested to add it to the code.

Come to think of it I don't think any of my customers use SSL on their pop accounts.

Thanks for the reply

Why do you do:

TCPCloseSocket($socket)

TCPSend($socket, 'QUIT' & @CRLF)

TCPCloseSocket($socket)

?

Why do you do:

TCPCloseSocket($socket)

TCPSend($socket, 'QUIT' & @CRLF)

TCPCloseSocket($socket)

?

That woule be because I messed up

The original script didn't user "QUIT" and I didn't like leaving it up to the server to clean up.

So I added the "QUIT/TCPCloseSocket" and missed removeing the original TCPCloseSocket.

I'll edit the first message with the new code.

Thanks for picking that up
