    hello i have installed postfix and dovecot ,i have done it few times with no problem.I can send emails the emails are stored to maildir but dovecot dont seem to work properly so i can receive them to my email client.

    port 25 is working both local and remote.

    So when i try from localhost pop3 or 110

    Code:
    [root@hosted-by ~]# telnet localhost pop3
    Trying ::1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    +OK Dovecot ready.
    quit
    +OK Logging out
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    Seems ok


    Remote

    Code:
    [root@server ~]# telnet myip***  pop3
    Trying 128.127.108.65...
    telnet: connect to address myip***: Connection refused
    
    Dovecot status

    Code:
    [root@hosted-by ~]# service dovecot status

    tcp 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LIST
    EN 25265/dovecot
    tcp 0 0 localhost:pop3 *:* LIST
    EN 25265/dovecot
    tcp 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LIST

    Is there any other firewall between you and your server that could block access to Dovecot?
