Indeed. Does your Apache access/error logs throw any light on what it is trying to do? I'd have to look into that (am at work now, not near my own pc). And can you confirm what version of squirrelmail you are using? Mine is squirrelmail-1.4.3a-10mdk Mine is 1.4.4. as downloaded from www.squirrelmail.org. I just got the tar.gz file and unpacked that.

I #'d them out, restarted xinetd services but still no joy. The firewall allows port 143 for both tcp and udp, so that can't be it: Firewall script: $iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 143 -j ACCEPT $iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 143 -j ACCEPT iptables -L: ACCEPT tcp -- anywhereanywheretcp dpt:143 ACCEPT udp -- anywhereanywhereudp dpt:143 The problem must be something VERY simple...

Paul /etc/services is just a lookup table for service names and ports. Entries in there do not control what is run. It is used by some programs to check what port to use. That way, you can specify ssh in your filewall configuration, instead of having to specify port 22. As far as xinetd, what it starts is controlled in 2 places. The first is /etc/einetd.conf, and the second is the /etc/xinetd.d directory. (The directory is included because of an entry in xinetd.conf.) Changes made to /etc/services do not affect what it controlls. Now, if Courier-imap is a stand-alone daemn, as what you say makes it sound like, then it is controlled by the services and chkconfig commands. It should have a file in /etc/rc.d/init.d that controlls starting and stopping it. If you can access it localy, then it is probably being started. The next problem is that it probably looks at /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny to see if it should allow outside hosts to connect. It may have an entry in its config file for this, but hosts.allow control is fairly standard. Run man hosts.allow for more information on this.

hi Mark, courier-imap wasn't included with mandrake 8.2 and 9.0, dunno about before that, but some kind soul always makes mandrake specific rpms, you can find it in the contribs directory of most mandrake FTP mirrors or at rpmfind.net ps. remember to vote for it during voting season for the next release of mandrake. :) - Original Message - From: Mark Annandale [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 20:03 Subject: [newbie] Courier-imap Hi Guys Am I being dim as usual, or is Courier-imap not included with 9.1 ?
