Nothing. I have:

$telnet pop.swing.be 110
Trying 195.238.3.114...
Connected to pop.swing.be.
Escape character is '^]'.

and then hangs instead of having a nice "+OK ready ..." answer, as
obtained on other pop servers

Yes it can.

Well, I've tried a bruto nmap on it :-( . Only port 110 is open

I've disabled it during all my tests...

> 7) Everything was OK on my FC2 boxes until a few weeks ago. I can't give an exact date, because was out of office for a few weeks.
