port 80 has to be open so users can get webmail, otherwise how in Gods earth
are they going to get remote mail? i havent had any issues port forwarding
this to my server it works fine, anytime a port is open it leaves a security
risk. anytime a new user is assigned an account its a security risk,
any...need i go on...

Hi,

I haven't got the answer to your problem but I'd strongly recommend closing
port 80 on your firewall, it is definitely not needed and only lowers your
security.
