Failed to add my email service to mail client

email

I've questioned to the support and they replied:

It appears that your configuration within your Linode is correct, and your services are listening on the correct ports. It is possible that there is some type of port filtering or other blocking going on at your ISP's level. Unfortunately, troubleshooting that would be beyond our scope of support.

I would recommend reaching out to your internet service provider in order to query whether they might be blocking common IMAP/SMTP ports. Additionally, I would also recommend reaching out to the Linode Community for additional assistance with your configuration.

And I use Foxmail client, I did it good before, but this time it fails and it shows I have to check the server, proxy,and internet environment,, I can add other email to the client successfully..

Could anybody please tell me how to set the sending server and the receiving server

for example ; Gmail use pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com

My domain is meesk.com ,, I remember I setted them both as mail.meesk.com , but now it didn't work

What mail client are u guys using ?? could anybody recommend one ?

Thanks in advance

When I scan your IP (198.58.96.51) I do not see any of the ports for SMTP (25 or 587), POP (110 or 995) or IMAP (143 or 993) responding. Do you have a firewall (such as iptables) configured?

Yeah, I get the same results; only port 22/80/443 (of the common ports) are open. It seems you have a firewall that's blocking traffic.

A firewall ? How can I fix it ?

I blocked a list of IP from my site before,and now I cancel it

meesk, we don't know that the issue is a firewall. We're asking you if you have one set up, and if so which one & what is your config?

Did you follow this? https://library.linode.com/securing-you … a-firewall">https://library.linode.com/securing-your-server#sph_creating-a-firewall

I can now see your server's SMTP, IMAP and POP instance.

PORT    STATE SERVICE
22/tcp  open  ssh
25/tcp  open  smtp
80/tcp  open  http
993/tcp open  imaps
995/tcp open  pop3s

So you should be able to get your mail.

However, some ISPs block outgoing port 25. Normally you'd also want to start up a "submission" listener on port 587; configure this to allow AUTHENTICATED traffic only.

At this point you should be able to send/receive email from your client.

It's OK now after flushing the iptables told by the linode service

Thanks guys !
