Sorry Andy, I thought the address I had copied was the list's one. Other lists I'm on put the list's address "on behalf of: " as the senders address. I will post this again with changes taking into consideration what you have answered. As a recap we're talking about an installation from source v. 1.2.3 on Fedora core 1 > On Thu, 11 Dec 2003, Paolo Nesti Poggi wrote: > >Then I tryed the ssl way as described on > >http://lifewithbincimap.org/index.php/Main/DoItYourselfCertificat > eAuthority > > Did this work? If not, what happened?

As I wrote I don't get anything inside the log. I thought that it might be normal behaviour, that the log only shows what happens *after* the connection succeed. But if you ask, I have to believe that something *should* be logged also during the connection negotiation, even in the case where the negotiation fails due to a misconfiguration. Am I right? If this is true then he problem might easily not be ssl configuration but something that happens before. About logging then, I was used to daemontools with dnscache and tinydns and in those cases I get a message inside the log whenever I restart the service, it is not the case here (both for ssl and no ssl), is it normal? With bincimap (no ssl) in the beginning I didn't get anything in the log file eather, but I solved that changing permissions and/or ownership, for logging root is the owner I'm pasting a snapshot of permissions of my log files: [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 10 05:36 bincimap drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 10 05:32 bincimap-ssl [EMAIL PROTECTED] log]# cd bincimap-ssl/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] bincimap-ssl]# ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 05:32 current -rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 05:32 lock -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 05:32 state [EMAIL PROTECTED] bincimap-ssl]# cd ../bincimap [EMAIL PROTECTED] bincimap]# ls -l total 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5050 Dec 10 05:31 @400000003fd7136207c013d4.u -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15666 Dec 11 04:09 current -rw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 05:31 lock -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 10 05:36 state I hope you can give me some ideas about how I can go on in troubleshooting. For instance, I would like to try and connect to port 993 from the comand line and I remember an example for doing this on your website, however I've not been able to find it again. Thanks, Paolo
