Cualquier intento de conectarse a un servidor a través del puerto 143 está bloqueado por el sistema operativo. He verificado que no es mi conexión; otras computadoras en la red pueden ver el puerto muy bien. He replicado el problema en una red diferente, así como en las interfaces Ethernet y Wifi.
En mi Macbook, obtengo esto:
$ telnet mail.xxxx.com 143
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
telnet: connect to address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Permission denied
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
$ telnet mail.xxxx.com 110
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to mail.xxxx.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Welcome to MailEnable POP3 Server
En otra computadora en la misma red:
$ telnet mail.xxxx.com 143
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx...
Connected to mail.xxxx.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

El problema se debe a una gran cantidad de reglas ipfw extrañas:

No puedo encontrar de dónde provienen estas configuraciones, deshabilitar el firewall no tiene efecto.
