Is it possible to compile imapd so that it will accept unencrypted logins and sessions on port 143 and also encrypted sessions via SSL on port 993, and if so how?
This may seem a crazy idea (and maybe it is) but what I am about to do is upgrade my server from an earlier, non-SSL version of imapd. I have users who connect using standard email clients (eg Entourage) who I would like to move to SSL. I also have a PHP-based webmail client (SquirrelMail) running with Apache on the same server as imapd. Unfortunately, SquirrelMail (SM) doesn't do SSL, though I could set up an stunnel from port 143 to 993 (with additional overheads). However, since SM and imapd are on the same machine, I could block all incoming traffic on port 143, so that the only 'client' that would open sessions with impad on port 143 would be SM locally, and the only option for external (non-web) clients would be SSL via 993. I have tried building with "SSLTYPE=unix" in the make command line but that doesn't achieve the above.
