POP/IMAP/SMTP not responding

    Hi,
    I have just installed ISPConfig 2 on a new Hetzner Server and it seems everything went fine.
    However for some reason, the mail services are not responding. The SMTP isn't reachable at all, IMAP and POP3 are telling me the username/password are wrong even though they are not.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Any errors in your mail log?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ?

    netstat -tap gives me:

    I'm not sure - are those connections attempts to send me e-mail?

    Are there any other errors in your mail log? Which distribution do you use? What's the output of
    Code:
    iptables -L
    ?

    I think I must have made some mistakes during the installation... I have re-installed Debian Lenny and ISPconfig 2 and now I'm hoping things will work out. :)
