 |

I kept getting:
| Code: | Error connecting to IMAP server: server.dnsalias.com.
111 : Connection refused |
from squirrelmail.
I've ssh'd into the server:
| Code: | server chris # /etc/init.d/courier-imapd status
* status: started |
but port 143 doesn't show up as open when using nmap, nor can i telnet:
| Code: | server chris # telnet localhost 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused |
/etc/courier-imap/imapd has "PORT=143"
as does
/etc/courier-imap/imapd.cnf (what is the one that is used?)
Any help very much appreciated

You should not believe rc status answer, as it is only based on /var/lib/init.d, which may contain errors 
btw, what gives :
| Code: | | # ps aux | grep courier |
and
| Code: | | # netstat -utpa | grep LISTEN |
? |

Worked it out myself (feels so much better that way!).
In the /etc/courier-imap/imapd config file i had only enabled imap for it's internal address, and not the external one.
So users could connect on the inside but not the outside. Still quite confused about nmap localhost. Nmap-ing the local and external addresses shows up imap, but nmap-ing localhost still doesn't. Obviously something i don't quite understand
Cheers for your reply Cabec2  |
