pilerimport just displaying connect ()

[Hans Mustermann]

I successfully deployed piler and everything's working. just pilerimport doesn't. I tries IMAP and Pop3, but after writing the command for importing it just displays: connect ()

And sets me back to the prompt. I tried 3 different accounts, simple password, IP, domain name.

Run ngrep -X 110 (or 143) to see what's going on. Assuming you are not using ssl, otherwise specify -P as well.

interface: eth0 (192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0) fatal: invalid hex string specified

Please:

ngrep -X port 110

[Hans Mustermann]

root@debian:~# ngrep -X port 110 interface: eth0 (192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0) filter: (ip or ip6) and ( port 110 )

then it's stalling, if I cancel, it displays:

4 received, 0 dropped

OK, then run pilerimport again. Ngrep displays the network traffic. If you can't see anything (even when using ngrep with -x (and not -X)), then look at the other interface.

root@debian:~# ngrep -X port 143 interface: eth0 (192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0) filter: (ip or ip6) and ( port 143 )

T publicip:143 -> 192.168.2.248:46779 [AR] ......

Use -x for ngrep

[Janos SUTO]

Btw. is it plain imap or imap ssl?

[Hans Mustermann]

I enabled both. i use pilerimport -i ip -u user -p pass

[Hans Mustermann]

with -x

T publicip:143 -> 192.168.2.248:46780 [AR] 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......

[Janos SUTO]

Try this, and make sure you can see the imap server banner. If not, then you have a connectivity issue.

telnet <publicip> 143

Thanks. It was really the connectivity. I couldn't connect to the ports without SSL. After Using port 993 it works! That's strange because the ports in Kerio are fine.
