    Check for spaces and line breaks. Your posted IG_TCP_CPORTS has one space at port 2083...


    IG_TCP_CPORTS="20,21,22,25,26,53,80,110,143,443,465,993,995,2082, 2083,2086,2087,2095,2096"

    If this was a cut & paste from the file then the space does truely exist and needs to be removed. Try re-inputting those ports ensuring no spaces.

    I also noticed a space, in the last number, 2089. Not sure if that will cause an error

    Additionally, you do not have the proper ports open in the egress rules.
