I only loaded up squirrelmail today as there was a problem accessing pop3 mail over the VPN. Squirrel is all working now so i can get back to fighting the real problem. I have now verified from linux that i can't access the pop3 server via VPN, infact its a networking issue, ssh also freezes over the vpn. In the past this was always a MTU issue, but changing that has had no effect this time. The problem is the main server is also the VPN endpoint, access to other servers inside the LAN seems fine (better anyway) but NOT directly to the endpoint. The VPN is ipsec, native 2.6 stack with openswan package.
