OK. As to the first part ... what I was asking is whether you can send mail TO [EMAIL PROTECTED] and find it in the account's mail box on the router. (Not if you can then download it to a POP3 client; that's a separate problem.) Or even better, can you telnet to port 25 from a LAN workstation and send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using SMTP commands by hand? If you can, then your problem getting mail from offsite is almost surely caused by your ISP deliberately interfering with port 25 traffic. And if you can't, these tests will give you much better diagnostic information than you can get from failed remote attempts. (I and others have reported here pretty much everything you can learn from remote connection attempts.) (You can try adding an MX record for your host, but I doubt it will address your problem - I believe the advice you got from your DYNDNS provider is correct.) And BTW, when you "send mail from an internal host, using address [EMAIL PROTECTED] to an external host and it arrives", what SMTP server have you told the e-mail client to use? (Since you've not said what e-mail client you are using, I don't know where to tell you to find this info, if you don't already know.) As to the second part ... based on the details you posted, you want to use POP3 to "collect" mail from the router to a workstation. Your Shorewall additions for port 110 look OK (for getting mail from an on-LAN workstation, which is what I assume you have been attempting), and I'm not qualified to comment on your qmail additions (in qmail/pop3d/run). But ... What DOES happen when you try to connect to port 110 on the LEAF firewall? What POP3 client are you using, what OS is the workstation running, and what error does the POP3 client report? What happens if you try to telnet to port 110 on the LEAF firewall? If you check the LEAF router with "netstat -l -p", what process is actually listening on port 110? >******************************************** > >Here are some configs: [details and old stuff deleted] -- -----------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ leaf-user mailing list: [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user SR FAQ: http://leaf-project.org/pub/doc/docmanager/docid_1891.html
