You'll need to open up the high numbered ports to get your mail from a
POP3 server. For example, with ipchains you want something like:
ipchains -I input -s <my.pop3.server> 110 -d <my.local.host>
1025-65535 -p tcp -i eth0 ! -y -j ACCEPT
This will allow connections from your server only when you have
initiated the connection. If you are having trouble with instant
messaging, irc, or other services you can just leave off the source
specification and allow (non-syn) packets from anywhere that you have
initiated a connection to.
I think iptables does this more elegantly.
