With this configuration I am unable to fetchmail in ISPConfig due to not being able to resolve the the domain name of the external mailbox. If i turn off the firewall, dns works fine. If I open all ports > 1000 it works fine. I believe this has something to do with the return port of the dns query to my name server? Maybe iptables?

Great tutorial but even better if it would also describe how to force ISP over a secure connection (https) which is not very hard to configure. E.g. this site describes one way, although enabling ssh is not necessary anymore after fulfilling this tutorial and ISP3 has some standard configuration lines that can be uncommented... (And why isn't ssl standard in ISP3?!?!)

Second, and perhaps a bit more difficult is securing phpmyadmin. I think phpmyadmin as a 'folder' in a website is not very secure since you cannot easily force it to connect over ssl (or can you? Lemme know!) On my server I would prefer phpmyadmin only accessible over ssl.

Isn't FAM necessary for Courier IMAP? Most mailclients seem to complain when it is not installed..
