Topic: [SOLVED] Does iredmail block ping requests on the server by default?

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====
- iRedMail version (check /etc/iredmail-release): 1.1 MARIADB edition
- Deployed with iRedMail Easy or the downloadable installer? no
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: debian buster
- Store mail accounts in which backend (LDAP/MySQL/PGSQL): MySQL
- Web server (Apache or Nginx):Nginx
- Manage mail accounts with iRedAdmin-Pro?no
- [IMPORTANT] Related original log or error message is required if you're experiencing an issue.
====
I can't ping the server iRedMail is installed on.
Does it block pings by default?
I uninstalled iptables  and rebooted the server to see if that was the problem but still can't ping the server.

mail is working and I can get to Roundcube from another computer on the network.

You say that you uninstalled iptables. How?
Who is hosting your server?

No, what I mean is, is the server hosted by yourself (i.e. a machine sat in your living room connected to the internet via your ISP) or have you paid a company to provide you with a server which is sat in their data centre?

It is my server in my house that I installed iRedmail on.
I have my own domain name.

I recently did a fresh install of iRedMail on Debian. It came with nftable instead of iptables. At least with nftable, I had to add echo-request and echo-reply to the list of permitted ICMP types  and reload the firewall rules for ping to work. Hope this helps.
