:) You REALLY should have been at the Kolab/Horde workshop... :) Check the CLUG website, where you can find some notes from that workshop on setting up Horde with Kolab. Or you can check my notes at http://grover.open2space.com/node/6. I also have a post on my site about setting up Kolab to better handle spam - http://grover.open2space.com/node/15. The ports in question are all the standard ports. Check /etc/services to match up the names to the port numbers. As for opening your firewall, open the ones you need. Probably just smtp, pop3/pop3s, and IMAP/IMAPS (I'd recommend using the corresponding secure ports). Your mail server is an end point. iptables is not needed. As long as the network can direct traffic on the appropriate ports to that box, everything will work - regardless of whether the box is in a DMZ or not. On the otherhand, if you are putting Kolab on the box acting as the router, then yes, you'll need to take care of iptables but that has nothing to do with setting up Kolab. As for mail relay, Kolab allows relay for authenticated users. I'm not sure if you can disable this without affecting some core email functionality. You COULD stop the relaying by blocking port 25, but then Kolab won't receive any mail messages. (don't do that). I think this issue is in the realms of "recommended policy", but the tech perspective is kinda iffy.... Or I need more sleep - not shure which yet. The experimental portions of Horde are the Kolab integration features. i.e storing contact details in Kolab's LDAP database, and similar. With regards to simply getting your mail, treat Kolab as an IMAP server and you're done. It IS possible to put Horde on the same box as Kolab, but you'll have to jump through a few more hoops. HTH.
