Hi there,
I've just installed Leopard and I'm having a little difficulty with
the firewall. :-P
I have the uw imapd configured via launchd to listen on port 993. If I
turn the firewall off then all is well and mail can connect. If I turn
it on then I'm unable to get the firewall to recognise that traffic
for imapd is acceptable.
What I've tried is to add my imapd executable (/usr/local/bin/imapd)
as an app in the "Set access for specific services and applications"
pane but all I get is:
Firewall[51]: Deny imapd connecting from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx uid = 0
proto=6
(the xxx being the source ip/port)
Any idea on how to configure the firewall to allow my imapd traffic?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers,
-C
