I added iptable rules for ports 25, 110, 143, 587, 993, 995, & 4190. I
believe those are all the ports I am using for this (SMTP, IMAP, POP3, &
SEIVE). Restarted and got the same errors. Were do I find selinux
messages?
It might simply be password problems, with all the files that have
passwords buried in them...
