Matt,
This is an excert from my script
# Macro defs
PPPADDR="203.59.179.249"
UNPRIVPORTS="1024:65535"
# Retrieve mail (POP3) from any host
ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -i ppp0 -p tcp -s any/0 110 -d
$PPPADDR $UNPRIVPORT
ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -i ppp0 -p tcp -d any/0 110 -s
$PPPADDR $UNPRIVPORT
A reply from Kai (off list) showed me that he is using the interface
(ppp0) rather than the IP address. I think this is where I'm going
wrong.
Damion.
