pop3 connection refused error
I am trying to install a pop3 email server, using postfix and qpopper on fc3. I've followed the install stuff as best I can and added port 110 to firewall, yet when I test it via pop3test or telnet to port 110 I get
Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp any ACCEPT ipv6-crypt-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT ipv6-auth-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT udp -- anywhere 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:5353 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ipp ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:http ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:https ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ftp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:smtp ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:imap ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:pop3 REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited not sure where to start trying to track down thanks for any help tony |
I think that it's not iptables thing. I think you don't have the server started. Check it.

Thanks,
please bear in mind that I am learning lots, but still a NEWBIE. I followed the install directions. Only difference is that I put pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/bin/popper -s in xinetd.conf instead of the inetd.conf because using FC3 and it's my understanding that is what you do. I restarted xinetd with 'service xinetd restart' (which seemed to work). I've tried to run it manually with/usr/local/bin/popper -s . prompt just returns, no messages. If I ps x | grep popper, I get nothing. so not sure if it's running or not (makes be believe that it's not). Sorry if this seems totally idiotic on my part. What can I try? Thanks, tony |
