Here's something that's vexing me.....

I'm running imap2001a on a RedHat 7.2 box.  IMAP (specifically, port 143) is
accessible on it's local LAN, and over the Internet.

Local users have no problem with accessing IMAP (both shell and from other
machines).  Most remote users can connect with no problem.  I have some
users that can't access mail remotely using IMAP.

Now, the thing about the sites that can't access mail from this box....they
can access other servers running UW-IMAP at other locations.

If I trace packets on the problem sites (using ethereal from the host), I
get:

  0.000000 client -> server TCP 50808 > imap [SYN] Seq=3776413896 Ack=0

Of course, names have been changed to protect the innocent.

So basically, they connect, but then the server just keeps sending out
OK....

I initially figured it was just some weird routing thing, but, from a site
that's not working, if I open a shell and connect manually, I can!  Witness:

[blah@shame blah]# telnet server 143
Trying x.x.x.x...
Connected to server.
Escape character is '^]'.

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 LOGIN-REFERRALS STARTTLS AUTH=LOGIN] server

* BAD Null command
01 login someuser somepass
01 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4REV1 IDLE NAMESPACE MAILBOX-REFERRALS SCAN SORT
THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT MULTIAPPEND] User someuser

(names again changed)

Hmmmmmmmm.  So I tried changing clients.  I've tried Outlook, Netscape, and
yes, Pine.  None connect.  All exhibit the symptoms above.

Anybody know what this is indicative of, or something else I do to
troubleshoot?  Thanks!
