Summary: can't connect to pop server

Initial Comment:
I am using Mozilla Thunderbird mail client on Win 98
and Win XP.  After installing python 2.3 I installed
and configured SpamBayes per readme instructions.
I changed client to use 'localhost' as proxy.  The
client connects to SpamBayes Pop3 proxy server OK, and
the proxy server displays a message stating that it is
proxying.  When I try to get mail, I get a message that
the connection was refused.  Could this be because the
proxy server is not able to supply the password when it
attempts to connect to the POP server?

Are you using SSL (i.e. port 995)?  SpamBayes doesn't 
currently support SSL, so that could be the problem.

Otherwise, what happens if you telnet to localhost:110 (or 
whatever port you have it proxying on).  Do you get the 
proxied prompt from the pop server?  can you log on (USER 
and PASS)?

If you put "[globals]\nverbose: True" in your configuration file, 
a log file of the pop3 conversation is written out which might 
be of use here.
