Hello List:

I am trying to install Postfix, MySQL, dbMail on a freshly installed RH9 box
as follows:

Postfix Server: mail.tibinternet.net
IP Address:     12.21.237.16

I installed Postfix (with MySQL) & tested it by sending an email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is forwarded to my email in /etc/aliases)
& I did receive the message. Then I created a manual  message:

telnet localhost 25
>MAIL FROM: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>RCPT TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>DATA
>.
>QUIT

The message was forwarded to my email. I did more testing by sending
messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] & they all were received.

Then I installed dbMail & by following the installation in
"http://www.helgrim.com/dbmaildocs/installation.html";. I added a user
account:

     #dbmail-adduser a testmail testmail 0 25000000 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Now I am running into problems. First of all I can not make a connection to
pop.tibinternet.net server from another PC. The connection is refused saying
that either the IP address is wrong or server is not responding. I can PING
pop.tibinternet.net. I can also "telnet" server pop.tibinternet.net.

I have checked into the logs (/var/log/maillog) there is nothing there.
Postfix is running.

One more interesting thing: I sent an email to a wrong address
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and it is logged into the log on the Postfix server
as a rejected message (no such email address. I have not received the
rejected message yet.

I do have a firewall but both ports 25 & 110 are open.

So PLEASE help. Why I can't connect to port 110 to retrieve messages?

Thanks in advance.

Kirti
