Allow IMAP Clients to Access the Server

An XCCDF Group

Description

The default firewalld configuration does not allow inbound access to any services. This modification will allow remote hosts to initiate connections to the IMAP daemon, while keeping all other ports on the server in their default protected state. To configure firewalld to allow 143/tcp access, run the following command(s):

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=143/tcp
Then run the following command to load the newly created rule(s):
firewall-cmd --reload
