Out of the Box, Shorewall is configured to DENY connections from the Internet to the Shorewall host (typically referred to as fw in the /etc/shorewall config files). You need to create a rule to let hosts from the Internet zone connect to the imap service on fw. I don't recall what port imap is off the top of my head. The config files or the examples on shorewall.net for enabling ssh to the fw machine from a static IP on the Internet are instructive here. If you know the static IPs of the clients, you can create a zone for them, and follow that config. madmac > > Step by step instructions will be highly appreciated. > > Ciao > > Vittorio > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
