There are some very good how-to documents around and some are specifically for FreeBSD, but I don't think many include the rcng info that would give you the rc.conf entries. The move to rcng is fairly recent, which is why I suggested that reading the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah.sh scripts is a good idea at the moment. I hate to say this, but google is worth a try. Try using *FreeBSD mail toaster* as the search terms - assuming you're interested in virtual hosting of mail domains. I hesitate to recommend any particular one, because it's largely a matter of taste. The Matt Simerson mail toaster thingie is highly regarded by a lot of people, but I don't get on with it because it's a bit of a black box unless you research it extensively, and because I take a slightly different approach to running qmail. However, the documentation contains some really useful stuff. The docs produced by the authors of courier are also pretty good: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap Peter.

If courier is running, you'll get something like: #telnet localhost 110 Trying ::1... Connected to your.host.name.com. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. Telnetting to the port is good because you can then talk pop/imap and diagnose any other probs.

This is great I realize that this email is online.. But the pipermail is impossible to search... Where else can I find this kind of detailed info online?? bob Hmmm... not sure. There are some very good how-to documents around and some are specifically for FreeBSD, but I don't think many include the rcng info that would give you the rc.conf entries. The move to rcng is fairly recent, which is why I suggested that reading the /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah.sh scripts is a good idea at the moment. I hate to say this, but google is worth a try. Try using *FreeBSD mail toaster* as the search terms - assuming you're interested in virtual hosting of mail domains. I hesitate to recommend any particular one, because it's largely a matter of taste. The Matt Simerson mail toaster thingie is highly regarded by a lot of people, but I don't get on with it because it's a bit of a black box unless you research it extensively, and because I take a slightly different approach to running qmail. However, the documentation contains some really useful stuff.

The full set, if you include the secure versions too is: courier_imap_imapd_ssl_enable=YES courier_imap_imapd_enable=YES courier_imap_pop3d_ssl_enable=YES courier_imap_pop3d_enable=YES It's worth reading /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah.sh for any port you install. inetd is not the right way to start these ports. Then to start them up without a reboot, do /usr/local/etc/rc.d/blah.sh start But you do need the rc.conf entries first. I have been pulling my hair out for weeks trying to setup my first mail server using how toos from high5.net and workaround.org. I have tried to look in /var/log for any log files that could indicate why I can not pick up mail. But I don't see any log files at all so I suspect they are not running. The server accepts mail fine I just can't pick it up. I donÿt know if it matters but I am trying to setup virtual domains with no local system accounts. How?
