Hi,
I am running dovecot 1.2.11 on mac osx 1.5.8. Everything works
perfectly with the application-level firewall off, but enabling the
application firewall prevents dovecot connections.
My suggestion would be to turn the application-level firewall in
"System Preferences" off and if you feel the need for a firewall,
use something like ipfw instead:
<http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/ipfw.8.html>
It comes setup with the following configuration:
# ipfw show
65535 0 0 allow ip from any to any
So, you would have to configure it as you see fit. Not as
convient as
"System Preferences", but it should allow you to write a firewall
configuration that works with Dovecot.
