iptables rule problem
- by thakrage
I've been searching around for some time now, but nothing solves my problem.
I'm setting up a mail server, but when writing to the iptables, I get an error:
iptables-restore: line 2 failed.
I'm tryig to use the following /etc/iptables.test.rules:
# Allows SMTP access
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
# Allows pop and pops connections
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 995 -j ACCEPT
# Allows imap and imaps connections
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 143 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 993 -j ACCEPT
After this, I'm issuing the following command:
sudo iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.test.rules
However I get returned this:
iptables-restore: line 2 failed.
I don't know what the problem is. Can anyone clarify?
btw. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 LTS
