Wrong list. This should go to blfs-dev, but the proposed file in the
book is correct with respect to the introductory comments made just
above:
"The following configuration is a simple proof of concept with IMAP
service using local users for authentication and mailbox location.
Reading files from the conf.ddirectory is commented out since the
included example configuration requires OpenSSL and Linux PAM."
Of course, we may provide a more complete config, but I think we'd
better not do that for programs involving security, and leave that to
the user/admin of the lfs box.
