Nothing seems to have changed.  Are you remembering to send the

  user administrator@yourhost.dcu

and

  pass yourpassword

commands first, to ensure the server knows what mailbox you want to
list?  If I telnet in and just send "list", I get "-ERR Command is not
valid in this state"; but if I send the "user" and "pass" commands first
to authenticate myself, it works fine.
