POP3 configuration

Hi,

I want to enable my pop3 port for the perticular ip address to access
my mails from outside.

How to do that in the iptables

Regards

Hi,
Your question was not clear to me. Do you have a pop3 server active at
your location that you want to access from an outside location (IP address
location)?

It's not clear to me if you might have a firewall problem or a mail server
problem. Or possibly something else? I don't know.

Please clarify your question

Hi,

My POP3 server is active and i am receiving mails from inside my
network. In my firewall we have not opened the port no 110 and I don't
want to open this port always. I want to open when ever needed and for
the perticular ip address from which i want to check the mail

Then use something like:
iptables -A FORWARD -i <OUTER_INTERFACE> -p tcp --dport 110 -s <IP> -m
state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

and the corresponding RELATED and ESTABLISHED rules.
