Hello,
I'm having problems receiving email. There is always a delay of 30s
behinf the DMZ zone.
[SNIP]
telnet mail 110 (30s delay)
telnet mail 25 (no delay)
Forewall Nat rules are properly configured so that the firewall forward
pop incoming queries to the correct IP adress(mail machine).
I'm not sure how to resolve that issue, any help would be extremely
useful. Could that be a problem on the firewall side ?
Yes and no - a matter of taste. May be there is a identd call from your
POP3 server ? And this call is DROPed somewhere ? If so, this rule will
help:
iptables -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 113 -j REJECT \
--reject-with tcp-reset
Hmm, your talking about DMZ. The above rule is written for the POP3
server itself. On the firewall you should replace OUTPUT with INPUT. If
these rules don't solve the problem you can delete the rule by
iptables -D [IN|OUT]PUT 1
HTH,
