I am trying to setup the imap server that came with redhat 9. I got sendmail working, and the imap, imaps, and pop3 servers all say they are running. However I cannot to connect to any of them. I tried telnet into the port, and nothing either. I am using a machine behind a dmz that uses a service to update my dynamic IP, if that makes any sense.
Can you connect to the IMAP server machine from another machine on the same side of the DMZ? If you can, then the problem may be in your DMZ configuration.
What do you mean by "imap, imaps, and pop3 servers all say they are running"? These servers normally only are started by [x]inetd when a connection is made to them.
Does your TCP wrappers configuration (/etc/hosts.allow, /etc/hosts.deny) allow connections to these servers?
Does "netstat -an" show that ports 110, 143, and 993 are listening?
What do you mean by "I tried telnet into the port, and nothing either"? Did you get an error message? If so, what was the message?
