Hi!
I've got dovecot 1.0.rc15.
I want dovecot to listen only on localhost for imap, and on any interfaces for
imaps. So I put the following into my config:
protocol imap {
listen = 127.0.0.1:143
ssl_listen = *:10993
..
}
dovecot -n correctly reports:
listen: 127.0.0.1:143
ssl_listen: *:10993
But I can still do a 'telnet MY_HOST 143' from the outside,
and 'netstat -pltn | grep dovecot' reports: [ip changed ;)]
tcp 0 0 77.my.ip.253:10993 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4847/dovecot
tcp 0 0 77.my.ip.253:143 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 4847/dovecot
Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug?

Or is there a bug?Could be a bug. Works fine in v1.0.7. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Some dingbat had aliased the server's FQDN to localhost. Maybe it's the other way 'round in your case. Not optimistic, just the first thing that sprang to mind. (Pessimistic because I'd expect aliasing localhost to something other than 127.0.0.1 would break a lot more than just dovecot.) Best, Ben
