Why do you have to put it anywhere?

The only reason I mentioned the port 110 was because of where your EL
'tech' advice was trying to lead you about the smtpauth sending port
number information.  Port 110 is 'normal' for pop servers.

I've never even seen this place you are talking about trying to fill
out.  You said  "Options menu in SpamCop's email client are POP server
name, username, password, and use SSL.  What is the magic word ?"

popservername = pop.earthlink.net
username = ELemailaddy
pw = pw
useSSL = negative

Spamcop.help and spamcop are for 'general' spamcop discussions.
spamcop.mail and the spamcop mail forum are for discussing spamcop mail
problems.
