They mean that you have to check with your client that |
20 |
pop3/pop3s/smtp/imap/imaps connection are established with success. |
21 |
You can do this with either telnet or netcat for pop3/smtp/imap protocol |
22 |
and see if the server answer to the connection and with openssl s_client |
23 |
for pop3s/imaps connection. |
