Title: How to retreive email Post by: bdmeyer on Tuesday 12 August 2008, 10:52:12 am 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. --Bruce Title: Re: How to retreive email Post by: bdmeyer on Wednesday 13 August 2008, 11:22:15 am 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. --Bruce D> Meyer Title: Re: How to retreive email Post by: sunblast on Wednesday 13 August 2008, 09:33:59 pm 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 ;) Title: Re: How to retreive email Post by: bdmeyer on Friday 15 August 2008, 09:13:16 am 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. --Bruce |
