128053 - unable to connect to pop3 servers outside of originating domain

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[David.Margery]

since mozilla9-8, I'm unable to connect to mail accounts using pop servers
outside my originating network (2 accounts affected, systematic).
It's not a firewall problem, as I can still currently access those accounts with
mozilla9-7

The problem arose at the time I downloaded build 9-8, and in the same time
configured my main account to use SSL. Nevertheless, disabling SSL doesn't
correct the problem  (this is prpably unrelated)

Could be linked to bug #127461

Are you using direct connection to internet or relying on proxies. 

Comment 2

[David.Margery]

Yes, the problem is with the automatic proxy.
With direct connection, the problem doesn't appear

The proxy used is domain wide, with the following configuration
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
{
  if ( shExpMatch(url, "https://*") )
    return "DIRECT";

  if ( shExpMatch(url, "nfs:/*") )
    return "PROXY www-interne.irisa.fr";
  
  if ( shExpMatch(url, "wais://*") )
    return "PROXY www.irisa.fr:8001" ;

  if ( isInNet(host, "131.254.0.0", "255.255.0.0") || isInNet(host, "127.0.0.0",
"255.255.0.0"))
    return "DIRECT";

  if ( shExpMatch(url, "http://*/cgi-bin/*") || shExpMatch(url, "http://*.cgi")
|| shExpMatch(url, "http://*.univ-rennes1.fr/*") )
    return "DIRECT";

  if ( shExpMatch(url, "http://*/*.asp") )
    return "DIRECT";

  if (isPlainHostName(host))
    return "DIRECT";

  if (shExpMatch(host, "*.inria.fr")) 
    return "DIRECT";

  if (shExpMatch(host, "galaad.dsi.cnrs.fr"))
    return "DIRECT";

  if (shExpMatch(host, "www.lemoniteurbtp.com"))
    return "DIRECT";

  return "PROXY www-cache.irisa.fr:XXXX; DIRECT";
}

I have the same problem, I am using a proxy too.
But for me Mozilla 0.9.8 is working, but later versions (0.9.9, 1.0) do not work
with the proxy.
The problem also happens when using the local Norton Antivirus POP-Server
(pop3.norton.antivirus at 127.0.0.1) for scanning e-mails.

Can you please see if this works on a recent build? This is very old, and I
can't reproduce. Adding qawanted keyword.

Comment 5

[David.Margery]

OK, bug seems to have disapeared.

Verifying, though, it really should be WFM, and not Fixed.
