Hey Guys,

I am just wondering why

telnet mail.someserver.com 110
+OK MAILSERVER ready.

Ends on a new line as if it is expecting a user response, but when I use

//Send
mySocket.Send(myByte);

//Recive
Byte[] bRecive = new byte[1024];
int i = mySocket.Receive(bRecive, bRecive.Length, 0);
string sBuffer = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bRecive);

The response is

telnet localhost 110
+OK ready.

should I send some kind of terminator or line break \r\n when I expect a user input because my app crashes when I enter a keystroke.

Thanks

that depends, are you running the EXACT same server?

I am not running any specific server. I am trying to create my own server.

If you're developing your own server, then it all depends on what the protocol expects.

Its has to be POP3 so the server sends the message "+OK ready." and the client sends a authentication command back to the server. But my server disconnects when I enter any character into the telnet window.

Have you read this tutorial? Obviously the server protocol is different, but the principle is the same. With what little code you've provided it's hard to diagnose any further.
