| Post subject: | postfix pop3 problem -- Connection refused |
Okay, I've got something stumping me here on postfix setup on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 64bit. The gist of the problem: I can send email from my home system to it with SMTP, but I cannot retrieve messages via pop3. When I telnet to port 110 from home, I get a connection refused. But when I telnet from the localhost to port 110, it goes through. It's not a firewall issue. When the firewall is blocking that port, I can see the connection getting blocked in the log files, and disabling the firewall completely yields the same result. My linode is setup as a subdomain of a domain hosted elsewhere. I don't think that could be related but ... My best estimate is that there's something Ive got screwed up in the main.cf or master.cf file. Here's my main.cf: ------------------------------------------------------ smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu) biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no readme_directory = no smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key smtpd_use_tls=yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache myhostname = localhost alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = subdomain.domain.com, localhost, localhost.localdomain, localhost relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128,aa.bb.cc.dd # Home IP mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION" mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_alias_domains = $virtual_alias_maps --------------------------- master.cf is in it's virgin form. I'll post that if appropriate. I've been on this more than a day with no progress. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer. |

Postfix doesn't do POP. Or IMAP. Or MAPI. Postfix does SMTP. |

Thank you very much! I've gotten past this problem with: sudo apt-get install courier-pop sudo apt-get install courier-imap I've now got another issue with "Maildir invalid" when I check email but that's something for another thread. Best to you... |
