trace may be the solution for you, but not having other information
about your problem, is it possible you can 'trace' your problem using
other tools / observations ? If the servers are running, you may need to
diagnose a little differently.
* Is pf blocking traffic from the desktop ?
- If telnet localhost 25 (and telnet localhost 110) works, but not
from desktop ?
* What happens when you use telnet to connect with postfix smtp, or
dovecot imap/pop3 ?
I'm sure google can find you information for using telnet to test smtp,
pop3.
e.g. http://www.nomoa.com/bsd/postfix.htm#4.1telnet
http://www.nomoa.com/bsd/dovecot.htm
* Are you monitoring /var/log/maillog ?
- it generally has useful information on what Postfix / Dovecot
think is happening.
- You can always bump up the noise level to dig in further ?
