Re: HAProxy and pop and smtp?

Weird for some reason this config does not work for me, and i see nothing in the logs... :(

I can telnet form the haproxy machine to port 143 on either of the 2 servers, so thats not an issue, i restart haproxy and i get a connection refused from telnet or my imap client... any ideas?
