/etc/shorewall/rule for POP3

[peasthope@shaw.ca]

Folk,

I am restarting this thread; it was 
looped and too difficult to follow.

remember if shorewall is case sensitive, but I bet it is in the
context of defining a rule. maybe post the actual config line to
produces the error?"

Turns out that documentation for specific 
protocols is available.
http://www.shorewall.net/ports.html
Desktops.OpenDoc "http://www.shorewall.net/ports.html#id2460528";

So POP3 works now.

Of course, I still don't understand why SMTP 
works without the rule.  Apparently a default 
case.  The documentation might mention it, but 
where.

Thanks for any ideas,     ... Peter E.
