Hello, My problem is the following I hope there is a guru of SuSE7.3 that can help me On my servor Postfix I upgraded SuSE7.2 => SuSE7.3 I installed the same /etc/postfix/main.cf config file after upgrading I do then telnet localhost 25 : OK connected telnet localhost 110 : connection refused The /spool/mail/mailboxes are filling up without problems Bur impossible to retrive the mail port 110 seems to be unacessible SuSEfirewall and personal-firewall are not started => thus normally no firewall on the Postfix servor In /etc/inetd.conf I uncommented the two lines with pop2 and pop3 I had the same problem with Postfix installed on a PPP G3 with SuSE7.3PPC Thus it seems to be a particular problem of SuSE7.3 Is there a line I must uncomment somewhere in hidden-firewall.conf? Is there something new in SuSE7.3 that blocks port 110? What must I do apart from reinstalling SuSE7.2? There is nothing in ./var/log/mail and /var/log/messages apart from "connection refused" I repeat: the mailboxes are filling up OK and no firewall on the servor and Posfix worked without problem on SuSE7.2 -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@gminformatique.com bartydeux@gminformatique.com http://bartydeux.gminformatique.com

Note that postfix doesn't handle pop. You must install something like qpopper. Also, while you edited inetd.conf, make sure that inetd is actually running (no I'm not trying to be funny, that actually happened to me once and I have the dent in the wall to prove it :) //Anders

I had to do many things 1) launch inetd (you were right) 2) install qpopper (was not installed with package Postfix ????) Thus there is something missing in the installation of SuSE 7.3 (that was not missing in SuSE 7.2). -- Alain Barthélemy
IIRC, inetd was disabled by default for security reasons (open servers that people did not know they were running). Postfix runs just fine without a POP server (all delivery to the user's home directory). If you want one, install it. There are many fine POP and IMAP servers.

Hello,
My problem is the following
I hope there is a guru of SuSE7.3 that can help me
On my servor Postfix I upgraded SuSE7.2 => SuSE7.3 I installed the same /etc/postfix/main.cf config file after upgrading
I do then
telnet localhost 25 : OK connected
telnet localhost 110 : connection refused
The /spool/mail/mailboxes are filling up without problems
Bur impossible to retrive the mail port 110 seems to be unacessible
SuSEfirewall and personal-firewall are not started => thus normally no firewall on the Postfix servor
In /etc/inetd.conf I uncommented the two lines with pop2 and pop3
I had the same problem with Postfix installed on a PPP G3 with SuSE7.3PPC
Thus it seems to be a particular problem of SuSE7.3
Is there a line I must uncomment somewhere in hidden-firewall.conf?
Is there something new in SuSE7.3 that blocks port 110?
What must I do apart from reinstalling SuSE7.2?
There is nothing in ./var/log/mail and /var/log/messages apart from "connection refused"
I repeat: the mailboxes are filling up OK and no firewall on the servor and Posfix worked without problem on SuSE7.2
