DBMAIL-IMAPD(8)DBMAIL-IMAPD(8)NAMEdbmail-imapd - provides access to the DBMail system to clients
supporting Internet Message Access Protocol, IMAP4r1, as specified in
RFC 3501.
SYNOPSISdbmail-imapd [-f configfile] [-p pidfile] [-nvVh]
DESCRIPTION
The dbmail-imapd daemon is a fully featured IMAP4r1 server. It will
spawn into a number of default processes as set in the dbmail.conf
file. These processes will enable full IMAP4r1 communication with
clients.
OPTIONS-p pidfile
Specify an alternate pid file. The daemons are currently hardcoded
to use /var/run/dbmail-<daemon> for their pid files, and will halt
if the pid file cannot be written. Use the -p pidfile option to
place the pid file in your system's preferred location.
-n
No daemonize. The program remains attached to the console from which
it was started. This is quite useful for debugging when combined
with the -v option.
COMMON OPTIONS-f configfile
Specify an alternate config file. The utilities are currently
hardcoded to use /etc/dbmail.conf for their configs, and will halt
if the config file cannot be found. Use the -f configfile option to
specify your system's preferred config file location.
-q
Quietly skip interactive prompts and helpful status messages which
would otherwise be printed to stdout. Use two -q's to silence errors
which would otherwise be printed to stderr.
-v
Operate verbosely. Some of the utilities in the DBMail suite can
take two -v's for extra verbosity. Those which don't understand this
convention won't complain about having the extra -v and will simply
operate at their normal verbosity.
-V
Show the version and copyright, then exit.
-h
Show a brief summary of options, then exit.
EXAMPLE
For xinetd:
# /etc/xinet.d/dbmail-imap
#
service imap
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-imapd
protocol = tcp
server_args = -n
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
For stunnel:
pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid
cert = /etc/stunnel/yourkeys.pem
# The next two sections will turn stunnel
# into a 'secure inetd'. This is mutually
# exclusive with the proxy sections below.
[dbmail-pop3d]
accept = 995
exec = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-pop3d
execargs = dbmail-pop3d -n
[dbmail-imapd]
accept = 993
exec = /usr/local/sbin/dbmail-imapd
execargs = dbmail-imapd-n
# The next two sections will proxy
# from the secure protocol over to
# the insecure protocol. In this case,
# use BINDIP=localhost in dbmail.conf!
[pop3s]
accept = 995
connect = 110
[imaps]
accept = 993
connect = 143
# Useful if your preferred SMTP server doesn't do SSL/TLS.
# This is with your MTA configuration, not DBMail, per se.
[ssmtp]
accept = 465
connect = 25
