Courier IMAP server will not respond.

Hi

I have just moved from a Fedora server using Dovecot, to Debian 6 with Courier.
I'm having a problem connecting to IMAP on port 993. The server does not respond. I've tried everything I can think of, and I still cannot connect, so i'm hoping somebody can shed some light on this for me.

The server was configuring using the Debian 6 ISPConfig3 Perfect Server setup.
There are no useful errors in mail.log, only entries like these below:

Code:

Apr  1 23:15:01 server1 imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Apr  1 23:15:01 server1 imapd: Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], time=0
Apr  1 23:15:01 server1 pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
Apr  1 23:15:01 server1 pop3d: Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]

netstat -an returns:

When I try:

The server does not respond.

And finally, it doesn'e appear to be a firewall issue.

Code:

iptables -L

Also, /etc/courier/imap-ssl is configured to port 993.
I have tried adding specific IPs (192.168.1.1,127.0.0.1) to the 'SSLADDRESS' field and restarting imap-ssl, but no joy.

Please help!

Thankyou.

 

It seems you didn't open the ports 993 and 995 in ISPConfig's firewall.

 

Solved!

Wow. I'll just be off to kick myself then...

Thankyou!
