This may sound stupid. But it is happening. I have installed Mandrake 7.2 with High Security Setting. I edited /etc/xinetd.d/imap file to change the line disable = yes to disable = no and then restarted xinetd with /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd reload. Now when I use netstat I see that xinetd is listening on port 143. But if I try to see my mail folders using netscape with IMAP setting it reports error 'Can't connect to server'. So I tried 'telnet localhost imap' and See following message. ------------------------------------------- Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. ------------------------------------------- That probably means, xinetd listens and responds to request on imap port but fails to spawn imap program. Am I right about this? is there something I am not doing right? Please help. Thanks, Amit _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
