Secure POP3S uses the tcp port 995 by default. Following iptable rules will allow server POP3S incoming client request (open port 995) for server ip address 202.54.1.20:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 1024:65535 -d 202.54.1.20 --dport 995 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.20 --sport 995 -d 0/0 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
Following rules allows POP3S outgoing client request from firewall host 202.54.1.21 (open port 995):
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 202.54.1.21 --sport 1024:65535 -d 0/0 --dport 995 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 995 -d 202.54.1.21 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
