[Dovecot] Getting Director Proxy Working

Hi All,

I can't get directory proxying of pop3 and imap working.  The
director stuff appears to be OK - see below.   The ldap
authentication is working on the backend mail server.  I just get
connection refused when I telnet to the proxy on the pop3 and imap
ports.  Nothing appears to be running on the pop3 and imap ports
despite the lines in the config below.  I am not sure what to do from
here as nothing is showing up in the logs.   Some assistance would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Murray
