README for uw-imap 2006
REQUIREMENTS
PRE-INSTALL
POST-INSTALL
1. To activate the required services add some of the following lines to
/etc/inetd.conf:
pop2 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop2d
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
pop3s stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
imaps stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
For security reasons it's highly recommended to use the ssl encrypted
services pop3s and imaps whenever possible.
2. Create two self-signed certificates for the imap and pop3 daemons:
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout imapd.pem
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out ipop3d.pem -keyout ipop3d.pem
mv imapd.pem ipop3d.pem /etc/ssl/certs
chmod 0600 /etc/ssl/certs/{imapd.pem,ipop3d.pem}
PRECAUTION
