Installation and Upgrades / No POP3 after enabling Firewall
« on: May 18, 2008, 04:28:26 am »
I installed ebox on a server fresh from the insallation disc downloaded from eboxplatform.
Mail worked great until I enabled the Firewall. Now SMTP works fine but POP3 seems to be prohibited on the external network interface.
Here is what I've done so far...
Goofy thing is there is no service or rule for SMTP (port 25) but it works fine. Makes me wonder about the word "Firewall" on this platform.
I verified that POP3 is enabled on the Mail Services tab of the Mail management page.
External interface is directly on public network with no router (other than ISP cable modem) in between.
Any suggestions?

- I created a Service Name called pop configured to allow TCP/UDP source port 110 to destination port 110.
- Added a packet filter rule allowing acceptance of any external network source traffic to the service name pop.
- Added this rule to the top of the priority list.
