Roundcube secure connection

[HTF]

Can someone explain me how it's actually work?
I set roundcube config file to use secure connection:
$rcmail_config['default_host'] = 'ssl://domain.com';
$rcmail_config['default_port'] = 993;
$rcmail_config['smtp_server'] = 'ssl://domain.com';
$rcmail_config['smtp_port'] = 465;

- but I still can connect/send emails even if I disable these ports in the firewall?

That config seems right.
But what is your mail server config like. Is imaps port 993 actually open and working on your server or is 143 only.

Could be a server issue than RC's fault...

Hi,

Thx foe reply. I tested and when I changed these settings to not use secure connection I couldn't connect to the server so that means everything's fine with the mail server itself.
I think that I can connect even if these ports are disabled on the firewall because web server=>roundcube and mail server are installed on the same machine? Am I right?

I think that depends on your connection string, if it resolves to localhost then probably it wont be going via the firewall.
