Thank you very much for this. I used webmail only to confirm mailbox successfully created and accessible. That check failed so I raised this Q and went no further pending resolution. You indicate that a mail client using pop3 will work ok so I will check that out. Thanks again.

Hello, Thank you again. Logged in via basic mail ok but could not send: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable 550 <{mailbox}@{username}.plus.com> invalid address '{mailbox}@{username}.plus.com So: - yes to q1 - not sure what 'secondary' means, it is one of several in addition to default mailbox (which is used only for plusnet account communications). It's a few years since I added a mailbox (also deleted one or two); up to now no issues. - I was only aware of username+mailbox format, tried email address also, got same 'login failed' response. I routinely use pop3, would need a substantial change of MO to switch to IMAP. Regards

Thank you very much. Curl worked fine. Not had chance to try basicmail (except I think I did and failed, tbc) Regards

Thank you for your reply. Yes - 'login failed' appears at the top of the window

I have just added a new mailbox - but cannot log in to it via the webmail portal. Have reset the password but still no luck. Cannot figure it out. I can log in to my other mail boxes ok.

Thank you - I will consider such an option, thank you.

Thank you very much, reassuring. It's just that that port has been open for ages, and, as you say, various random IPs try out some standard things, but the repeated [SYN] thing is more recent. Changing IP is a bit of a mixed blessing as various settings need to be updated.

I am on a home broadband package with a small Pi home server. Port forwarding 443 to said server. Sometime in the recent past the router technical log shows incoming port forwards from remote IPs (seem to be mainly Brazil according to iplocation) at about 1 per second. IP is like A.B.C.D where A.B stays the same for a day or two but C.D changes. Wireshark capture shows server responds with [SYN, ACK] but there is no response from remote IP. Server resends a few times then a [RST] is received. Source location has also been identified as e.g. Korea. No web pages are requested. I am struggling to figure out what is going on or whether any defensive action is needed. Server loading seems to be minimal. Main impact seems to be that the PlusNet 2 router FW Log fills up in a short period. Advice and insights gratefully received.

Thank you very much. Worked a treat, got "235 ... authentication succeeded" straight off. My issue lies elsewhere it seems.

Thank you very much. I have tried configuring sSMTP.conf along the lines you suggested plus settings such as STARTTLS=YES iaw PlusNet's current SMTP setup advice, but as yet no joy. However, knowing that you succeeded is encouraging, there are a few more tweaks that I can try. You may know that when using Google SMTP it is necessary to change a Google account setting to "allow less trusted apps", I wonder if there is a similar issue now with PlusNet?

I wonder if anyone has succeeded in using PlusNet SMTP (relay.plus.net) via Linux BASH in lieu of Google (Google is switching OAuth2 so I wondered about using sSMTP capabilities)?
