Hello!
I am trying to open the 143 port (IMAP) for outside access and to do a forward to my mail server on that port!
The packet filter rule and DNAT just don't work and it is driving me nuts!
The thing that is very strange is that when the rules are not activated for the IMAP port the live log of the packet filter doesn't show dropped packets when i try to connect on this port!
Even when the rules are activated for the IMAP port (DNAT and packet filter) the live log doesn't show anything when i try to connect from the outside to my server!
The same thing happens with other port numbers lower than 1100 that are not listed in the packet filter or DNAT rules! The live log simply does not show the packets being dropped!
Attached is a photo when i Try to do a telnet on port 143 and 50 with no rules activated on the firewall and there are no dropped packets and a telnet to port 9999 ,also not configured on the firewall,and for the 9999 port you can clearly see the packet being dropped!
what do you think?
