There is possible that the imap server you're connecting to is configured to perform user identification using ident service. Try a 'tcpdump -i externat_gw_iface -n port auth' right before connecting to the imap server. If there will be packets matched while connecting be sure this packets are not dropped in your firewall. If this kind of packets are dropped in your firewall try changing the target of that rule rule to REJECT or even ACCEPT. -- Tarhon-Onu Victor Area Technical Coordinator RDS Iasi - Network Operations Center www.rdsnet.ro, www.rdstel.ro, www.rdslink.ro Phone: +40-232-218385; Fax: +40-232-260099 ..........................................................................
