Ok...just to make sure, do a restart on both the Postfix service and the xinetd service to ensure they're running. This is usually the #1 cause of that particular error message when trying to connect to the imap service. It goes without saying that you've already got port 143 open for imap connections since you were connecting in that manner before. I too use Bastille, and haven't had any troubles with it. If you're still unable to connect just give a holler cause there's something tickling at the back of my neck for this, but I just can't put my finger on it. I'm sure though as we go through this it'll come to me. -- Mark ----------------------------------------------------------- Paid for by Penguins against modern appliances(R) Linux User Since 1996 Powered by Mandrake Linux 8.2 & 9.0
