I've got dovecot 1.0.rc15.

dovecot -n correctly reports:

But I can still do a 'telnet MY_HOST 143' from the outside,
and 'netstat -pltn | grep dovecot' reports: [ip changed ;)]
tcp  0  0  77.my.ip.253:10993  0.0.0.0:*  LISTEN  4847/dovecot

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug?

Could be a bug. Works fine in v1.0.7.


I had a similar problem at some point. I fixed it by removing an idiotic alias in my /etc/hosts file. Some dingbat had aliased the server's FQDN to localhost. Maybe it's the other way 'round in your case.

Not optimistic, just the first thing that sprang to mind. (Pessimistic because I'd expect aliasing localhost to something other than 127.0.0.1 would break a lot more than just dovecot.)

Best,
Ben
