Background
I have been working on getting an email server set up using a Raspberry Pi as the host. I have been primarily using this guide as my help but I appear to be stuck. I do have a residential service but have an account at dynu.com with the services "SMTP Outbound relay" and "Email Store / Forward" to get around this. They also host my domain name as well.
Problem
I can send emails no problem, what I am having an issue with is receiving them. I will post a lot of detail as I have tried many things and feel like something is bound to turn up a clue.
Ports
Using a port scanner I can determine the following:
- Port 25 = Blocked
- Port 2525 = Unblocked
- Port 143 = Unblocked
- Port 465 = Unblocked
- Port 993 = Unblocked
All ports are forwarding through the router successfully to my email host.
OpenSSL Testing (works)
Using the command openssl s_client -connect mail.xxx.com:993 -quiet (where xxx is my actual domain) I can login using a login user password , `b select inbox', 'c logout'
Using my actual domain name rather than localhost makes me feel that this is set up correctly.
Monitoring mail.log when receiving an email
The only entry that appears:
I see in my Dyno Email Store / Forward service that they just sit there and never transfer:
I have the Dyno email forward / store service set up as follows:
I might not even need this Email Forward / Store service since port 993 is not blocked by my ISP? I just am using it because I can't get it to work without it either so may as well try something different.

Definitely is listening on port 993 as demonstrated by the login above:
service imap-login {
port = 143
}

port = 993
ssl = yes
}
If there are any other config files that need to be checked / posted, let me know and I can show.
Dynu email service / fetchmail configuration
Dynu configuration:
I can specify a login username and password as well:
Fetchmailrc:
# /etc/fetchmailrc for system-wide daemon mode
# This file must be chmod 0600, owner fetchmail
set daemon 300 # Pool every 5 minutes
set syslog # log through syslog facility
set postmaster root
set no bouncemail # avoid loss on 4xx errors
# on the other hand, 5xx errors get
# more dangerous...
# Hosts to pool
# Defaults ===============================================================
# Set antispam to -1, since it is far safer to use that together with
# no bouncemail
defaults:
timeout 300
antispam -1
batchlimit 100
poll store1.dynu.com protocol POP3 username "eric" password "password"
So, in the configuration above I still do not get emails. Should the user name and password in fetchmail match that in the authentication for dynu? Is the poll store1.dynu.com protocol POP3 username "eric" password "password" portion right?
