Well, you're totally incommunicado with only the above. accept inward
tcp on POP3 at :110 or SMTP at :25. If you allow Web Msg over SSL
you'll need :443.
There are 19 hits in the ipswitch KB for firewall (hardly anything in
the Imail u/g). Your firewall software doc and mailing list MUST
have info how to do this (or get your money back), plus any general
book on firewalls.
