Package uw-imapd-ssl-2002.RC10-3
| Description: | Remote mail folder access server (2002.RC10-3) | |
IMAP (the Interactive Mail Access Protocol) is a mechanism for
accessing mail folders and the messages in them remotely, i.e. with
your user mail program running on a different machine to the one
where all the messages are stored.
This server has SSL support built in and includes a POP server with
the ability to relay commands to an IMAP server.
You may find this useful with Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) since Apple's
Mail 1.2 (v544/543) no longer allows local unix mailbox accounts.
If you installed the 'pine' mail client then an imapd and ipopd
binaries have already been installed too. In that case you need not
install this package unless you need the additional 'mailutil' binary
and other utilities. Unfortunately UW does not provide pine and imapd
packages that have no overlap of products (or even a full overlap,
which would make it easier for maintainers to add complete splitoff
packages).
If you do install uw-imapd you will almost certainly want to install
a Mail Transfer Agent such as Smail or Sendmail, as remote mail
programs which use IMAP to access incoming and saved mail will
usually want to send mail using SMTP, often to the same machine.

| Usage Hints: | ||
To install a self-signed certificate (perfectly adequate for personal
use), perform the following commands:
sudo mkdir -p /sw/etc/ssl/
sudo openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /sw/etc/ssl/imapd.pem -keyout\
/sw/etc/ssl/imapd.pem -days 3650
To enable the IMAP daemon:
1. Add a line to inetd.conf:
imaps stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/tcpd /sw/sbin/imapd
(See the enclosed SSLBUILD document for similar instructions to setup
the additional pop daemons.)
2. Reset (HUP) inetd:
sudo kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
Unfortunately no instructions were provided with imapd to configure
xinetd (a modern replacement for inetd, included with Mac OS X 10.2).
To use imapd with xinetd, create the file '/etc/xinetd.d/imaps' and
insert the following:
service imaps
{
disable = no
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
groups = yes
server = /sw/sbin/imapd
}
If xinetd is not already running, start it with the following
command:
sudo /usr/sbin/xinetd
If xinetd is already running, restart it with:
sudo kill -HUP `cat /var/run/xinetd.pid`
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONFIGURE BOTH inetd AND xinetd FOR imapd!
