Dovecot 2.3.4, FreeBSD 11.2
Due to comcast buisness ISP intercepting imaps I need to have my clients connect to non-standard port (9999). Previously I had been using stunnel to receive the imaps connection and forward it to the imap port over 127.0.0.1. But I would like to retire stunnel and have my imap clients connect remotely.
I have configured the imap-login service -
service imap-login { inet_listener imap { address = 127.0.0.1, ::1 port = 143 } inet_listener imaps { port = 9999 } process_min_avail = 3 service_count = 0 vsz_limit = 1 G }
But I am not seeing any listeners on port 9999 -
root@ns(1001)# netstat -an | grep 9999
Using sockstat on FreeBSD:
root@ns(1002)# sockstat | grep dovecot | grep tcp root dovecot 34800 15 tcp4 *:4190 *:* root dovecot 34800 37 tcp4 127.0.0.1:143 *:* root dovecot 34800 38 tcp6 ::1:143 *:*
I have mail_debug = yes, but I don't see any failures. What is the best way to debug why I am not seeing this port number?
Thanks,
Patrick
I would leave dovecot config untouched and use a firewall (PF) to translate port 9999 to whatever dovecot listens to.
