Anyone else having problems with pop.spamcop.net?

I can get to webmail just fine but getting a "connection refused", since
last night, when I try to pop the mail down.

Thanks,

Never mind. Operator error. I discovered I could telnet to the pop
port just fine from my work computer, but not my home computer, so
rebooted my home computer and all is well.

'Sick sockets' [whatever that means] which the reboot cured. Which Win
version?

XP Pro SP2.

I asked because the various prior generations of Win were supposedly
worse and improved. The 9x/es then the NT family then XP.

I searched on sick sockets but didn't find much, so maybe that wasn't a
good or useful or communicative term. I'll have to research a little to
find out what I meant when I said sick sockets.
