Read the mail (POP3) even behind a FireWall
This is a Java application made for the people
working in a company under a firewall. I use
it to get past the firewall and to read the
mail I get on my private e-mail account outside the company.
In fact, there is no other way than making a
"telnet" on the firewall itself, and "telneting"
after this to your mail server and read there the mail.
So, VasFireWallMailReader does this for you
very fastly and stores the mail in a file and you can
consult it later.
- You must have a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed on your computer,
- You must know the hostname of your telnet gateway. It's sometimes called firewall, internet, gateway.. Contact your system administrator if you cannot find the gateway yourself.
- To try the name of the gateway, under the command shell type :
telnet name 23, for example
telnet firewall 23 to try firewall.
If you have no errors, and it connects to, you can try telnet your_mail_server 110.
If it works, then you'll have no problems using this Java application.
