Port 110, POP3 is a pull from your machine to your ISP's mail server and =
will=20
not require you to open any ports on IPCop.

The same can be said for Port 25 (SMTP). You should be sending mail to yo=
ur=20
ISP's SMTP mail server.

All the initiation comes from your machine, so the opening of any ports i=
s=20
not necessary(?) on IPCop. If you are running an SMTP server as your loca=
l=20
mail server (e.g. sendmail, postfix, etc) behind your IPCop box then you =
will=20
have to open port 25 and forward it to the local IP addr of the mail serv=
er.
