[Users] VPN - can't get mail

[lists]

Possibly the sysadmin blocks the IP space of your VPN. Or one of the RBLs blocks the IP space. Note keepsolidvpn.limited doesn't resolve.

If you know your email protocols, you can telnet to the mail server while using the VPN and look at the response. This is the basic idea though I can't vouch for the website. But it is a start.

Subject: [Users] VPN - can't get mail


I have used Claws-Mail on Xubuntu for many years, currently 3.17.5. It
always just works, but recently I have decided to use a VPN
(KeepSolidVPN.Limited). Unfortunately, as long as I am connected to the
VPN, Claws-Mail cannot connect to my two POP mail accounts (both at
gmx.com). If I want to get my mail I have to disconnect the VPN.

Note that previously I used Private Internet Access VPN, and I had no
problem collecting mail while connected to it. I don't understand what
changed. Claws-Mail is pumping the same user data and password to the
POP server as before, so why should there be a difference?

Observations and suggestions welcome. :)
