Re: How do I reliably expose MacPorts dovecot to the LAN on macOS Sonoma?

No DHCP. The machine has a fixed IP address (as it is the server on the LAN for various servers that have to be told a IP address to connect to)

This was a SIP/ALF issue.

Sounds like a DHCP issue on your router that was cleared up after a reboot.

I’d recommend trying togging the network interface off/on the next time that happens, or rebooting the router.

I can after some more testing confirm:

- After turning of SIP, it works
- After then turning SIP on again, it still works (?!?!?!)

So, turning SIP off and on again cleared something.

Hello people,

I am currently making an attempt to run various ports on macOS Sonoma (mail server stuff, like postfix, dovecot, installed by MacPorts) and I am running into a problem. 

From inside the machine itself, everything is fine. I can connect to the ports using nc

But from another machine on my LAN I cannot. It simply times out when I try

nc -v -z <sonoma-machine-ip> 993

from any other machine on the LAN. But on the machine itself it works. The process is running, it is listening to the correct port. I have used Murus (PF configurator/logger) to see that the connection from the outside is actually made. I tried Vallum (ALF configurator) to see what I could do/see.

At one point I had postfix reacting to connections from outside the Mac, but not dovecot. Then I tried to change everything back and try again, now postfix isn't accepting connections either and I don't remember what I exactly did.

Two questions:
  • how do I expose MacPorts dovecot to the outside?
  • how do I find out what part of Sonoma is stopping the connection and why?

Help?
