Dovecot imap mailbox access problem from network.

vedang · 12-26-2006, 01:31 AM

I have configured Dovecot Imap server and sendmail server on fedora5. It works on the local machine fine and i am also able to send mails via local machine(it is my sendmail server). I can view entire imap mailbox on FC5 machine. But from network i cannot connect to Imap mailbox . If i Nmap to the local server, ports for SMTP POP and IMAP are open.
I have also configured access file for network machines to be able to access server.

Conclusion , All services run very fine on local machine but cannot access through network machines.

And I also cannot access samba shares on the network but i can access shares of other computers on the network on my FC5 machine.

So it seems to be a security related problem . Please help me to solve this problem.

What is the error that you are getting? That would be helpful in trying to determine what your problem is.

it is showing error as
Could not connect to 192.168.0.114(Port IMAP): No route to host
I have added it's entry in /etc/hosts file.
It pings to it by ip and name both.
But while I do nmap from other linux machine to IMAP server it do not show any information.
when I nmap from locally from IMAP server itself it shows all open ports and it shows all open ports of other linux machines.
