ISPConfig port 110 conection refused

[TheBirdMan]

Hi,

My pop3 server is showing offline. When I telnet localhost 110 I get a connection refused. All my services are starting and I am using postfix for mail. IPChains and firewall is disabled in Fedora and ispconfig. Any ideas would be helpful, I am ready to do a clean install.

Thank you.

Please post the output of:

netstat -tap

Your POP3 daemon isn't running. I assume you're using Dovecot, so run
/etc/init.d/dovecot start to start it.

That was it, I feel like a bird brain. I'm new to postfix and thought it handled the pop3 also.

Thanks.
