Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN] localhost.localdomain IMAP4rev1 2001.315rh at Thu, 22 May 2003 20:49:02 +1000 (EST) but from another machine i get could not open a connection to host on port 143: connection refused what have i screwed up? any ideas are welcome. -shameless |
Are you running a firewall at all? Is the rest of your networking up and running? Which IMAP server you using?

hi jdharris,
i am using the uw imapd on rh8.0 The network is fine as i can telnet to all other ports ftp, smtp, telnet but not imap. I have not every configured a firewall but then i did upgrade from rh7.1 to rh8.0. Maybe the upgrade installed a firewall i don't know about it? I checked for a process called 'ipchains' but nothing like that seems to be running. Is there something obvious that i have missed? thanks -shame |
To check for any filewall rules use iptables -L, as its done by the kernel you don't see anything in your process list. I'll have a look into how you would stop UW imapd from accepting connections from specific addresses.

thanks jamie,
I ran the iptables _l and i got some reply that indicates that my iptables failed due to missing ip_tables.o files. So i guess i don't have it running? any ideas how/why IMAPD can be preventing taking connections from certain ip addresses? thanks -lp |
