Mailstore - validation of challenge failed

Help
1

Hello, I’m trying to install mailstore (13.0.1.20050) using a Let’s Encrypt certificate

mailstore.pawprintit.co.uk is pointing to my public IP and port 80 is forwarded to the server, but I get the error detailed below. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: pawprintit.co.uk

I ran this command: Mailstore server installer (as administrator)

It produced this output:

Hi @PieCaptain

your output (Timeout) says: Your configuration doesn't work.

Runs your server? Is there a http webserver? Works that server internal?

It seems perhaps the ports are forwarded, but they are being blocked by the host.

PORT     STATE    SERVICE
80/tcp   filtered http
135/tcp  filtered msrpc
139/tcp  filtered netbios-ssn
443/tcp  filtered https
445/tcp  filtered microsoft-ds
8081/tcp filtered blackice-icecap
8082/tcp filtered blackice-alerts

Maybe Windows Firewall or something like that?
