cannot get pop3 to work!

using astaro release 5.200 home license and will buy full license when i get it to work.

i cannot get pop3 email. i have followed all instructions, allowed networks, etc. and don't know what the problem is. i can get smtp to work, it logs in and sends. it is not my email server because i have tested with other email servers and also it does not work. i have tried dnat, even pop3 service is allowed in http proxy. i even have the horrible 'any any' setting in the pop3 proxy, planning to change once i get it working.

am i missing something? i have found no help in the knowledgebase. am i correct in my email client i put mail.ees.net.nz and not the IP of the proxy ? have tried hundreds of settings - please help!

Allow your packet filter out to ANY.

Suggest if you want to restrict, that you don't allow ANY service out.  Create a new service group called something like Allowed_Services and bundle services you want into that definition.

So then packet filter rule will be:
Internal_NET   Allowed_Services ANY Allow

You do NOT need a packet filter rule for anything being proxied.

(Note that if you run the HTTP proxy in transparent mode, you will have problems with HTTPS)  I usually run my HTTP proxy in standard mode.

POP3 proxy should be self explanatory.  If you get stuck, try the Getting Started guide in the docs section of the Astaro web.

Cheers.

I got it to work, and I really could bite myself.
I didn't disable the DHCP service in the Router, so I got these Pop3 problems.
I've disabled the DHCP and gave all clients an static IP and it works well.

Thanks to all for your help!
