I run my home server under Rocky Linux 9. The server is modem / router and as such has two firewall interfaces; internal and external. Dovecot version isdovecot-2.3.16-8.el9.x86_64 kernel is: 5.14.0-284.18.1.el9_2.x86_64 My domain is wo-lar.com (http://wo-lar.com) Postfix and Dovecot are up and running, and I can send and receive emails from CLI. But I cannot connect from desktop clients. I get the following error message: Server message: Can't connect to host "tcp://wo-lar.com:143 ( http://wo-lar.com:143)"
I tried to telnet from my desktop and server. Results are the same:
- I always get a connection refused: telnet wo-lar.com ( http://wo-lar.com) 143 telnet / telnet <Server LAN IP> 143. On server only: telnet 127.0.0.1 143
- telnet wo-lar 143 (without .com!) establishes aconnection [root@home wp.rauchholz]# telnet wo-lar 143 Trying 79.152.236.25... Connected to wo-lar. Escape character is '^]'. OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE IDLE LITERAL+ STARTTLS AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN] Dovecot ready.
I went through all kinds for conf files and search for wo-lar string, but can't find it anywhere Where is the mistake hiding? Thanks for helping.
