Are you saying that qmail (an MTA) might need to be installed differently
with a firewall in place for it function correctly (i.e. for pop3 to work)?
Someone said that a firewall setup has nothing whatsoever to do with an MTA.
Well, the IP's are as follows, as near as I understand.
209.6.200.157 is the IP address of my cable modem
cybergood.net, mail.cybergood.net, linux.cybergood.net, goodhouse.net, and
others all point to that IP address.
Currently I am using EasyDNS to handle that. I think?
that mail.cybergood.net is set up as an MX, I'm not
sure, but the EasyDNS setup, (using PHP) does have a box
that specifies it as being the "mail handler" which
probably means that mail.cybergood.net is an MX record.
192.168.0.1 is the internal IP address of my Linux box
192.168.0.2 is the IP address of one windows box.
192.168.0.3 is the IP address of another windows box
which is rarely on.
Those are all the IP numbers.
