| Description | An error occurred. Cannot connect to the <host name> POP3 host for user <email address>. The error is <Winsock error number> |
| Event Information | Error code 11001 ="Host not found". May indicate a connectivity problem, DNS problem or any other issue that may stop the SBS from obtaining the IP address of the remote POP3 host. Check that you have a name server(s) and/or host table configured. If you are using a name server(s), check whether the server host(s) are up (e.g. try to ping the server). You could also try to resolve another hostname you know should work, to check that the name resolution server application is running. Error code 11002 ="Non-authoritative host found". This is usually a temporary error and means that the local server did not receive a response from an authoritative server. A retry at some time later may be successful. From a newsgroup post: "You have a bad message in the ISPs queue. I have seen this a few times with the SBS pop3 connector. You will need to manually telnet to port 110 on the report server and delete the message that is killing the download. Error code 11004 = "Valid name, no data of that type". Error code 10060 = "Connection timed out". A connect or send request failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time. Check the obvious first: check that the destination address is a valid IP address. If you used a hostname, did it resolve to the correct address? If the hostname resolution uses a local host table, its possible you resolved to an obsolete address. Can you ping that hostname? Do you have a router configured? Is the router up and running (check by pinging it, and then ping an address on the other side of it)? Try a traceroute to the destination address to check that all the routers are functioning. Check your subnet mask. If you dont have the proper subnet mask, your network system may treat a local address as a remote address (so it forwards addresses on the local subnet to the router, rather than broadcasting an ARP request locally), or visa versa.
