Rebooted the server box today. Now Dovecot doesn't listen at localhost. It does listen at the LAN interface, so it is perfectly usable, but...
Does anyone have any idea why it has stopped listening at localhost?
If settings still say imap_listen = *, it's probably got something to do with IPv6.. I think localhost was defined as ::1 in BSDs.. I'm not sure why it worked before then :)
I've tried both of the following: imap_listen = * imap_listen = <mailhost>:143 They behave the same; no localhost. Prior to the reboot, I was using localhost on a daily basis for testing. I never use IP6 for anything, so the OS kernel is compiled without IP6 support. When I try to log in, I get $ telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... so the system is trying to connect on an IP4 interface.
