Hi, I've been following the discussion, since I am considering something on this line also. I am thinking of using ipopd instead of imapd. But ipopd and imapd is started from xinetd in my system (default RH 7.2). If that's the case for you too, would not just adding the some line in hosts.allow and hosts.deny solve this problem? Is it almost the same case with other services as telnet and ftpd? I might be missing somthing here, since I am somewhat a newbie in this thing. Thanks. Reuben D.
