OK, I have a fairly new box setup with exim/procmail/pop3/imap, and am having some weird issues with imap and pop3.

If I connect via imap or pop3 from the box itself, everything works fine. But as soon as I try to connect from external, I get the following in auth.log:

Code:

Jan  6 21:43:52 nod xinetd[1131]: START: pop-3 pid=26634 from=xx.xx.xx.xx
Jan  6 21:43:52 nod xinetd[26634]: FAIL: pop-3 address from=xx.xx.xx.xx

and
Code:

Jan  6 21:46:10 nod xinetd[1131]: START: imap2 pid=27278 from=xx.xx.xx.xx
Jan  6 21:46:10 nod xinetd[27278]: FAIL: imap2 address from=xx.xx.xx.xx
Jan  6 21:46:10 nod xinetd[1131]: EXIT: imap2 pid=27278 duration=0(sec)


Here is my xinetd settings for both.

imap:
Code:

service imap2
{
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/imapd
        log_on_success          += DURATION USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        disable                 = no
}


ipop3:
Code:

service pop-3
{
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        server                  = /usr/sbin/ipop3d
        log_on_success          += USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        disable                 = no
}


I have no clue what is going on...can anyone lend a hand?

Thanks.

Ok, after digging around for a few hours, I figure it out just a few minutes after I post :)

For those that may end up with the same problem I had, the solutions was to modify the /etc/xinetd.conf file, and disable the "only_form = localhost" entry.

Cheers!
