"Telnet for SMTP didn't work either when the port was blocked by SBC."

That would be expected, wouldn't it, since the filter is on port 25 outbound? Your POP3 provider is evidently having problems since there is no POP3 (port 110) filter.

I'll give my hosting provider a call tomorrow if its still down.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14409958 Wed, 21 Sep 2005 02:24:51 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14400657 schja01 : What changes did you make to your firewall?

Try running a traceroute to it to see if you have a path to it. If so, call the provider because the server died. SBC does not filter port 110. That would be too insane even for them... ;)

Thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14392877 Sun, 18 Sep 2005 20:37:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14392861 Riss_Centaur : No one else has indicated any problem with the POP 110 port. And there would be no good reason SBC would ever block that. SMTP port 25 yes, but 110 no.
Might be a transient pop server issue with SBC. Give it a little time, In the mean time go through the standard stuff at your end: Check for malware/viruses, check settings in mail client, etc.

Is there a known issued with POP being blocked by SBC?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14392811 Sun, 18 Sep 2005 20:28:39 EDT
