[QUOTE="jmndos, post: 734995, member: 68570"] Hey, jmndos, I have a solution for you. Telnet just uses regular tcp sockets. Just write a function that makes a connection with you mail server on your pop3 port, probably 110. The connection does not require a password. When you log in, you start of by issuing user [username], that will either respond with an ok or an error message and then issue a pass [pass] and then you get an ok or an error. Checking for those responses should be enough to verify identity. This should be faster than most wrappers, because since your just checking for authentication, you can return false immediately after you fail the username.... [/QUOTE]
