Hi

I'm running qmail 1.03 and courier-imap 1.6.0 on an RH 8.0 box. Courier-imap is started from qmail's qmailctl script by adding /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/imap.rc start to the start section of qmailctl. The ADDRESS in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd is set to the host's address, not 127.0.0.1. couriertcpd opens port 143 on the host. However, when I do a portscan of the host from the outside, port 143 doesn't appear on the list of open ports.

The host is probably multihomed, and you're listening on the wrong IP address.

Just use the wildcard 0.
