Hello,
I have a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS 10.3.8 and read my mail with Entourage
2004. I would like to read the messages that get deposited in
/var/mail/<me>, without having to use pine or mail as I do currently.
Entourage doesn't allow you to mount file-based mailboxes (you can import
them, but not subscribe to them) so I thought about using a local
mailserver. I seem to have successfully installed imap but I can't
authenticate.
I downloaded and installed the latest imap and pop daemons from UW, using
the commands
$ make oxp SSLTYPE=nopwd SSLDIR=/usr SSLCERTS=/etc/sslcerts
$ sudo openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out /etc/sslcerts/imapd.pem -keyout
/etc/sslcerts/imapd.pem -days 3650
Then I added this line to /etc/inetd.conf (sorry if it wraps):
imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/tcpd
/usr/local/libexec/imapd
Finally I restarted xinetd.
Now when I try to connect using an IMAP client (even "telnet localhost 143")
I can't login. I get the NO LOGIN failed response. I've also tried
building with the arguments SSLTYPE=unix (to allow plaintext logging in,
kind of a no-no). Same problem.
Related question: Once it gets working, I only want to allow connections on
the IMAP port from localhost. Can I do that with the
/etc/hosts.{deny,allow} files?
Any clues?
