Tom- Thanks for the reply. I have specifically disabled identd on my imap server because many of our users are behind firewalls that don't pass identd.

I have also enabled for the heck of it identd on my firewall.. This didnt change anything.

It is not a consisstant port, it is like other services, it is picking a random really high port.

I'll read thru that info you sent.

Im not waiting for the ident timeout anymore after turning it off on the server. What I do see is that when IMAPS tries to do whatever he's doing making a connection back to me on a blocked port is that the next time I check a imap mailbox it needs to re-authenticate.

Thanks alot-
Jim

Could someone enlighten me on the finer aspects of firewalling.

I'll try.  Although I'm a comparitive newbie, I think I can expand
on your question a little, from what little I know.  I hope not
to make any mistakes, but I'm sure we'll hear about it here :)
