I have a Smoothwall server on my network and am running three network interfaces off it.
- local LAN 192.168.0.0 with PCs and an internal dovecot server on 192.168.0.154.
- internet interface
- DMZ 192.168.2.0 which has a linux web server 192.168.2.1 on which I want to install a webmail so I can access my email remotely.
Originally 192.168.2.1 couldn't see the 192.168.0.0 network but with some help from the Smoothwall forums I have fixed that. The problem now is that 192.168.2.1 can't connect to the dovecot server on 192.168.0.154. When I "telnet 192.168.0.154 993" or "telnet 192.168.0.154 143" I get a "Connection refused" error. But these commands work fine from PCs on the 192.168.0.0 network.
I'm pretty sure there's no firewall on the dovecot server and /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are empty.
Is there a default setting that I need to change in Dovecot that only allows connections from machines on the same subnet?
