--> The external IP address is only accessible from the outside (internet), not from internal hosts. So you need to use port internal_IP:143 for internal hosts and external_IP:9143. Also you have to make sure that imap is listening on both interfaces/IPs.
FW_REDIRECT_MASQ was the wrong place. I tried FW_REDIRECT with the following setup Jun 18 07:34:43 daolin kernel: SuSE-FW-ACCEPT IN=ppp0 OUT= MAC= SRC=217.7.147.254 DST=84.139.46.145 LEN=60 TOS=0x10 PREC=0x00 TTL=58 ID=33886 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=51472 DPT=9143 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 OPT (020405B40402080A09895F7A0000000001030300) telnet: connect to address 84.139.46.145: Connection refused FW_REDIRECT="0/0,192.168.9.1,tcp,9143,143 0/0,192.168.9.1,tcp,9993,993 the packet is accepts but not directed to the correct port. I had to substitute my internal ip with 0/0 and now it´s working as expected. Greetings, Joerg
