How to retreive email

[Guest]

[bdmeyer]

I have evolution configured to send email. taiul -f /var/log/maillog looks like all email I send my mail server is getting through.
I was going to set up amavis-new, clamav, spamassassin on my mail server, but it looks like it is already installed on the firewall.

I don't know where to go next.

I am running postfix on the mail server. It appears that efw is also running postfix, clamav, amavis. and Spamassassin.

Where do I popint my mail client to retrieve email that is waiting on me?

Should I set something else up on my mail server?
IMAP ? POP3?

Is their a document on this?

Thank-you for any help.

I now have Dovecot. Tryijng to fiogure out how to get through the fireall to pop3.

I nmap from behind green to the mails erver behind orange, and get the following:

PORT     STATE    SERVICE
22/tcp   open     ssh
25/tcp   open     smtp
53/tcp   open     domain
80/tcp   open     http   I can;t for th life of me see why pop3 is filtered. It 'app0ears' to be set up as 25.
110/tcp  filtered pop3
222/tcp  open     rsh-spx
995/tcp  open     pop3s
3001/tcp open     nessusd
8080/tcp open     http-proxy


Any help, i appreciated.

I never had any trouble receiving mail through efw. The settings for your e-mail client should be the same as without efw.

Maybe if you take a look at the Proxy settings inside the efw webpage and check on pop3 or smtp to straigthen you out. If not just return and ask again

I have tried making the settings for pop3 match smtp , proxy, no proxy, fort forwarding etc. I just never get past efw. I have tail -f /var/log/maillog on the mail server running. When I telnet to smtp on the mail server (not efw) I see the connection on maillog, (and connect of course) when I try to telnet via 110 nothing happens on the maillog. dovecot is running, and I can connect to 110 via localhost host or the internal ip, just not through efw.

When I nmap 25 and 110 from external, 25 shows 'open' and 110 shows 'filtered.'

I think filtered means I am dropping the connection without a response (issuing a rst) which really isn't a great Idea resource wise I believe.

Does anyone have a troubleshooting step I can try>? It appears the connections to 110 are being dropped at the firewall, and never getting passed through.
