My sendmail + Dovecot doesn't work


Hi All
I used fedora12 builded mail server uning sendmail and dovecot at my home, when I at home everything are works fine, no matter I sent email to hotmail, or hotmail sent to my mail server, but I got the problem that I can't access my home server when I at office, the error messages as below:

#telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 110

-ERR Cannot connect to POP server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:110), connect error 10061

#telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 25

-ERR Cannot connect to STMP server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25), connect error 10061

#telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 143

-ERR Cannot connect to IMAP server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:143), connect error 10061

My email settings as below

#cat /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA

#cat /etc/mail/access
Connect:localhost.localdomain RELAY
Connect:localhost RELAY
Connect:127.0.0.1 RELAY


P.S there is no firewall between the my office and home

Is there anyone could help me, is there any settings I missing? many thanks.

a number of things we need to know before we can help.



1. check on the localhost the ip/ports that are listening
2. do you have static ip or access using portforwarding?
