    Everything is configured and 90% working.

    Postfix SMTP is fine. I can send mail without problem.
    The user on the server can receive mail without problem (mail shows in users maildir)

    I can telnet to the pop3 server via SSH with the following command: telnet localhost 110.

    When I run "telnet mail.justoutboards.com 110" via SSH, I receive the following error:

    " telnet mail.justoutboards.com 110
    Trying 69.37.171.190...
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused"


    I cannot telnet to pop3 server from outside the environment using either IP address or FQDN.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thats definitely a firewall blocking your connection

    Thank you for the help. I have control over the firewall on this circuit and I have allowed port 110.

    Any other thoughts?

    Thank you for the help.

    Please supply the output of this
    Code:
    netstat --ntlp
    
    And you can also run a tcpdump and see what is happening to the packets
    Code:
    tcpdump -tlni eth0 port 110
    
    Then connect from outside.

    Am not sure but it seems like courier is only listening to ipv6 not ipv4

    Is your server behind a router? If so, does the router forward port 110 to your server?
