hello, My server has 2 ports one behind a firewall and another on the local network, my pop3 on the local network works the one behind the firewall doesn't. The firewall has the proper ports opened, is there a simple way to check the packets get to the server ? Thanks, Herwig
Code: netstat -tap will show on which IP addresses programs are listening. you should see either 0.0.0.0 or * Code: $ netstat -tap | grep pop (Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.) tcp 0 0 hosted.by.obfuscated:pop3s *:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN -
the most simple way to do this is actually use telnet domain 110, then use the command user <username> then pass <password> you should get authenticated if all works wel, anyhow the firewall config was wrong a typo in the forwarding rule, this procudure was really helpfull, cheers, Herwig
