If it's the socket to your mupdate server, figure out why it isn't responding. Thanks. Indeed it is the connection to the mupdate server: mupdate 7395 cyrus 9u IPv4 3273817 0t0 TCP eg-mailfrontend-febe.intern.elgouna.tu-berlin.de:40362->172.26.17.69:mupdate (ESTABLISHED) So we have to investigate why we can ping in both directions, why the frontend can autheticate on the mupdate server and why the answer doesn't get through. Thanks so far, Frank Elsner ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://www.cyrusimap.org/ List Archives/Info: http://lists.andrew.cmu.edu/pipermail/info-cyrus/
