Topic: bad line received... imap problems

[Sergei Slobodov]

here is what I get when trying to check my mail:

[root@e-smith /etc]# tail /var/log/messages

e-smith 4.1.2  is NATed on internal network behind 3com 3c510 gateway. All computers are on the internal network as well. IMAP traffic is routed through the gateway back to the internal network.

Why does e-smith try to  ident the gateway?

Thanks,
