Hi all, I just installed a couple of days ago exim4/dovecot on a new Debian VPS. Setup seemed fine and I could send and receive emails through pop3. I went back on the server a day later and could not connect to the pop3 anymore. I checked netstat and dovecot was listening on 110. I checked the IP tables and there are no rules in them. I can connect to other pop3s from the same hosting company on port 110. I changed the dovecot config to listen on port 210 and that works fine. Telnet would throw: Code: -ERR Cannot connect to POP server xxx.xx.xxx.xx (xxx.xx.xxx.xx:1), connect error 10061 The ":1" at the end puzzles me. Is the port being forwarded to port 1 ? Here is the output of ifconfig: Code: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:1064 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1064 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:87064 (85.0 KiB) TX bytes:87064 (85.0 KiB) venet0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:127.0.0.2 P-t-P:127.0.0.2 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1990529 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1128201 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2792194030 (2.6 GiB) TX bytes:78499242 (74.8 MiB) venet0:0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet addr:server IP address P-t-P:server IP address Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MTU:1500 Metric:1 Would you have any idea where to look to find out why the port 110 is blocked ? Thanks
