Make an /etc/inetd.conf file with one line to start imapd. Sorry, you have to. Of course, you could use an inetd replacement, like xinetd (from ports). Another solution would be to install tcpserver (might be part of daemontools) and use that for a one-program inetd. Here's why: Inetd listens on port 143 (for example). When it gets a connection, it starts /usr/local/libexec/imapd with its stdout going to the network and its stdin coming from the network. So if you start imapd from the command line, it expects its stdin to be reading the network. Actually, since inetd wasn't there to redirect it, it's reading from (and writing to) your terminal. So: use inetd, xinetd, or tcpserver. -- Josh Dave ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: staring imapd from command line?
yes, I think you can however courier uses the Maildir style for qmail instead of the mail style for sendmail, unless I'm wrong Dave - Original Message - From: Martin Karlsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Joshua Oreman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: David Loszewski [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, July 05, 2003 5:06 PM Subject: Re: staring imapd from command line?
