1 I do not have telnet installed on my PC, so in troubleshooting a
2 connection to a mailserver I thought of using ssh. However, I do not
3 seem to be able to get a response from the server regarding user login
4 and password:
5
6 ==================================================
7 $ ssh -vv pop.virgin.net -p 110
8 OpenSSH_4.3p2, OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005
9 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
10 debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0
11 debug1: Connecting to pop.virgin.net [80.5.182.193] port 110.
12 debug1: Connection established.
13 debug1: identity file /home/michael/.ssh/identity type -1
14 debug1: identity file /home/michael/.ssh/id_rsa type -1
15 debug1: identity file /home/michael/.ssh/id_dsa type -1
16 debug1: ssh_exchange_identification: +OK POP3 PROXY server ready

20 Then it sits there and does not respond to me typing "user", "pass",
21 or anything else. I've tried adding my username before the host
22 address, but it made no difference. pop.virgin.net will not respond
23 to any pop commands (list, stat, etc). Am I doing this right, or is
24 it that an ssh client cannot be used instead of telnet to connect to a
25 mailserver?
