Well, I am using pmfirewall, which does a fairly nice job of setting up a strong ipchains ruleset, which I then customized. Perhaps because I left the original IMAP port rule in? I did go over the port numbers and the mark numbers & they looked OK. But maybe there's a ipchains rules generator friendlier to this sort of effort? Any recommendations here? Also, I have to include the MPPE patch so that I can implement PPTP. I'm starting to think though that I should do a make mrproper and do a whole new kernel all over again blending in all that I have to add in from the IPCHAINS, IPMASQ, and the PoPToP howtos, since I don't get a connection denied error, it just sits there after I try the telnet to the IMAP port. By the way, the box which needs to connect to the MS Exchange IMAP is a Windows CE unit. Anyone aware of any TCP issues or gotchas with that? Personally I'm waiting for a Linux based web pad with a working Mozilla before I get my own handheld ... Christopher Everett
