I'm not new to Linux but am new to Mandrake and had some questions on a recent install. I have a Mandrake 8 box that is behind a RH 7.1 firewall using iptables. I've set up iptables to forward smtp and pop3 to my Mdk 8 box. It is working but not so well. I've noticed that if I telnet to port 25 or 110 it takes at least 30 seconds before I get the smtp or pop3 prompt. From what I've seen other places and with other packages I've used in the past (non-linux) this response should be instant. What is the problem here? Also, I'm using the built in pop3d (I believe it is ipop3d) that came with Mdk 8. I notice when doing a telnet to port 110 and get the pop3 prompt it says localhost.localdomain. I've looked several places and can't see where to configure pop3. Where do I configure it? Here is my setup. I have a 1MB dedicated connection to the internet. This goes to a 10baseT hub that is then connect to my RH 7.1 box with a 10baseT NIC for the internet and a 100baseT NIC for the internal network. The RH box has 64mb of RAM and is a Pentium 166. The Mdk 8 box is a Duron 650 with 384mb of RAM. It has a 100baseT NIC connected to a 100baseT switch for the internal network. Any suggestions on what the fix is to these problems will be greatly appreciated. Thanks -- Brian Blater mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
