Courier-MTA, mail Ports Still Closed After Courier Daemon Is Started

I followed the tutorial on the arch wiki to setup courier-mta (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Courier_MTA). All the configuration seemed to go fine, but when I tried to stat courier, I get an error:

It says the daemon was started, but when I try to telnet port 25 and 143 (even on localhost), the connection is refused. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Courier-MTA, mail Ports Still Closed After Courier Daemon Is Started

i have exactly the same problem, i guess that sudo systemctl restart courier does not start imapd and esmtp automatically..

so try:
$ sudo esmtpd restart
$ sudo imapd restart

then:
$ netstat -ant | grep :25 ; netstat -ant | grep :143
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:25              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp6       0      0 :::143                  :::*                    LISTEN

Re: Courier-MTA, mail Ports Still Closed After Courier Daemon Is Started

just now, i read this note XD

Please note that courier start runs the main Courier mail server scheduling engine only. It does not start any other daemons that you may have, such as the ESMTP or the IMAP daemon.
