Hi,

I'm getting a lot of this entries in the LogWatch mail under ipop3d
section:

Success, while reading line user=appowner

I'm also getting entries like this which I suppose are normal:

Update user=USERNAME host=[LOCAL_IP_ADDR] nmsgs=0 ndele=1: 1 Time(s)

(text in caps refer to real existing users and ip)

Obviously we don´t have any relationship with iplannetworks.net
<http://iplannetworks.net> domain
I'm running FC 5.
Didn't find any info on google.

¿do I must be worried?

thanks in advance.
Robert.

It looks like john is checking his mail from home/work using
iplannetworks.net as their ISP. If you are allowing users to check
their mail over the Internet, then I would not worry too much. If
your firewall is supposed to be blocking incomming connections from
the Internet, then you have a problem.

Sounds right to me. But I would think about access to system mail from home, and if something like pop3sis what he should be using.
