Mail List authentication failures (php/phplist)
Problem:
I'm trying to configure an application (phpList) and it requires that I enter (in config.php) a username and password for a POP3 account to handle bounces. I keep getting a POP3 error and it can't log in. What gives?
Solution:
Be sure to put the full email address as the user name, not just the part on the left of the @ sign.
Good Example: bob@domain.com Bad Example: bob
