Does pop3 ever work? Does "amcheck -c" work?

Is there a firewall between your Amanda server and pop3?

No, it's not that kind of timeout. This is a connection timeout.
The general sequence of events is that the server contacts the client
(pop3) on the Amanda UDP port, which fires up an amandad. Amandad is
told to start sendbackup. Sendbackup creates three TCP sockets (data,
mesg and index) and sends those port numbers back to the server, then
waits for connections on each of them. Dumper on the server gets the
list of ports from sendbackup and is supposed to make connections to
the client on those ports. It's that operation that is timing out
(took longer than 30 seconds).
