I'm trying to set up dovecot on a fresh installation of Fedora 16. This is an obvious problem:
$ telnet rail 143 Trying 10.0.0.21... telnet: connect to address 10.0.0.21: Connection refused
localhost works:
$ telnet localhost 143 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready.
After first trying to permit traffic on port 143 in the firewall configuration, I've now disabled it altogether:
$ systemctl status iptables.service iptables.service - IPv4 firewall with iptables Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/iptables.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) start condition failed at Sat, 27 Mar 1999 03:25:13 -0500; 13 years and 0 months ago CGroup: name=systemd:/system/iptables.service $ systemctl status ip6tables.service ip6tables.service - IPv6 firewall with ip6tables Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/ip6tables.service; disabled) Active: inactive (dead) start condition failed at Sat, 27 Mar 1999 03:25:13 -0500; 13 years and 0 months ago CGroup: name=systemd:/system/ip6tables.service
? yet I still get "connection refused" as above.
If not the firewall, what's the culprit here?
