Imap issue

["Joyce, Matthew" <MJoyce@ccia.org.au>]

Hi,

I have a box running woody v3, kernel 2.4.18, with uw-imap

I can connect from a client on the same network, everything works fine, but
I cannot connect from home, or anyother network so far.

The network guys assure me the correct ACL changes have been applied to the
routers.

>From home and another network, nmap reports

Nmap xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 143

Starting nmap V. 2.12 by Fyodor (fyodor@dhp.com, www.insecure.org/nmap/)
Interesting ports on  (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx):
Port    State       Protocol  Service
143     filtered    tcp        imap2

What does 'filtered' mean ?
Does tcpd have to be specifically configure to allow access from another
network ?

thanks



Matthew Joyce
