[imp] Question of Firewall + IMP on Fedora Core 1 / Redhat 7.x Linux System

[Eric Rostetter]

Quoting edwardspl at ita.org.mo:

> /sbin/iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s 0/0 -p tcp --dport 143 -j ACCEPT

You probably want something more like:

-A INPUT -i eth0  -p tcp -m tcp --dport 143 -m state --state 
NEW,ESTABLISHED -j
ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT i- eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --sport 143 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j
ACCEPT

> error message from horde/imp :
>
> server="Public_IP_Address" user="edward"
> mailbox="{Public_IP_Address:143/imap/notls}INBOX"
> array(1) {
> [[0]=>
> string(59) "Connection failed to Public_IP_Address: Connection timed
> out"
> }

Check also for tcp_wrappers to make sure that isn't the problem instead
of iptables.
