Redhat 7.1 pop3 server not open outside of localhost

[Guest_imported]

I recently installed the wu-imapd mail server, but POP3 is not open to anything outside of the localhost. I enabled the pop3 server file in the /etc/xinetd.d folder and restarted xinetd but still nothing. Any ideas?

Hi,

Did you allow port 110 (pop3) through the firewall ? Configure the firewall as root with '/usr/sbin/lokkit' command and allow inbound pop3 or specifically port 110. Also, make sure you turned on the ipop3 service :

/sbin/chkconfig ipop3 on

Then restart xinetd :

/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

Regards
